I am so sorry for this late response as I have been away from home until today. I was so deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your mother. I was so looking forward to seeing her next month at our 6 Main St Lukes reunion and to hear her sweet laugh and friendly voice again. Please know that you are in my thoughts and heart during this immense loss. Ardella was a cherished person who touched the lives of many with her kindness. Her memories of baking along with her kind caring will bring light to even the darkest moments. Wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you grieve. My sincere condolences, Eileen Clark

Della was the BEST sister in law a young man like me could ever have hoped for. I liked her from the first time we met in Moorhead. I really respected her . She was a great person to have known. Della is a Christian, therefor she is still alive, not with us here on earth but on another adventure somewhere with the Holy Spirit.
Please know that I’m so sorry for the loss of a loved one, and a dear friend she was. We had many heart to hearts over coffee and goodies. Rest In Peace my friend.❤️❤️. Julie, Much love and many prayers for you and yours. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
So thankful to have been able to celebrate with Ardella on her 90th. Was so looking forward to seeing her when her “girls” were getting together in April. I truly enjoyed working with her for many years back on 6 Main at St. Luke’s Hospital. Precious are the memories of her. Sympathy and prayers to her family.
