The family of Della wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the Church on the Move family and Chaves County Administrative Center. Della was a constant giver. She was always involved with numerous extracurriculars at the church from missionary trips to Mexico to help the orphanages, helping with children’s events or just cleaning up around the church. She was the definition of a hard worker that always put everyone first. She loved her family, her friends but most of all her Jesus. She enjoyed every second of being a mother but most of all being a grandmother. 37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 NLT Please take a moment and share a fond memory or kind expression of sympathy for Della’s family at www.andersonbethany.com. Della’s tribute was beautifully written in her honor by her loving family.
