My deepest condolences to the family and friends of this beautiful soul, Dalith. I loved and appreciated Dalith because she would take time out of her schedule to come visit our mom, Mrs. Patricia Benjamin. She would sit and chat with our mom for over an hour. She was a sweet soul, and once I got to know her, she would visit as usual, and I loved bringing wine from New York for her, which we enjoyed, and she always found something to give me to take back to NY. I hadn’t seen her since covid but we kept in touch via messenger off and on.
I pray for God’s comfort for Dalith’s family and friends, and please know that I will keep you all in my prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
