My dearest cousin Delila,
Words cannot express the sadness I feel in my heart that you are gone from us now. I regret that I wasn't around more often to share in family events and enjoy your company and hear that wonderful laugh of yours. I am so glad I was able to spend the afternoon with our family by your side the other day. I'm not sure if you knew I was there, but I'm sure you knew that there was never a time when someone wasn't holding your hand and telling you they love you. You'll be in our hearts and minds always.
Love you
