Your family is in our thoughts and prayers….
I want to say what an honor it was to know such a wonderful, vibrant woman. I grew up in First Baptist Church and was always greeted by a warm, caring smile and a lot of questions about what was going on in my life at school, in my golf career, in my marriage, in Atlanta. The list goes on and on. Dell will always be with us here. She will always be remembered because of her loving spirit and her joyous outlook on life. My prayers are with you all. May God bless you and keep you all.
Her gift was bringing a cheerful spirit and a happy greeting to everyone she met. Such a beautiful person and an inspiration to all. We are better people for having known her.

Mr. Bromley, Leslie, Keith and Morgan…
Dell was one of the kindest ladies I’ve ever known and I thank God for putting her in my life. I’ll never forget her smiling face greeting my family back in the fall of 1970 as we moved into the apartment below you at Asheville School. It just happened to be the day of the Christ School football game and we didn’t know what we had gotten ourselves into! She assured us that this was not the usual daily activity for the school. I’ll not forget her kindness for it carried through her entire life. I love you all.
Ellen
My condolences to all the family, my best to you, Coach, Matt
