From Nell Dee and Shay and family I am keeping my family in my prayers and I hope you lean on Gods word the Bible to comfort you. And I hope that this scripture will comfort you as it does me, Revelation 21:4, And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning,nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The things have passed away. May Holy Spirit comfort you all. I love you all

To my family ,I know this is a sad time but remember the promise that Jesus made,In John 5:28,29—Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear my voice and come out, and those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practice vile things to a resurrection of judgment.This is a promise my Aunt will be remembered and resurrected back to life on earth . I will give her the biggest hug and we will laugh and talk about how good it is to be with family. You are so loved aunt Sponcia Dell , until we see you again, for now Rest Your.

Sponcia Dell, I loved your spirit and always will remember when we came to visit you all back in the days of "Saginaw " we always had a good time!!! When you and mom got together, then it was always fun. Both you and mom's laughter always made me smile. I know you and "Belle Marie" will laugh together and until I see you both again, REST and know: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD"! Condolences to the family.

My auntie Lord smh I love you so much. I am going to miss you like no other the calls talking for hours on the phone, laughing and talking about everything. You definitely was God sent to anyone who encountered you. Our last call is all I remember you asking me to pray for you and when I finished you saying baby I ain't no you could pray like that lol.... You told me how proud you was of me and that gave me so much joy. I love you auntie save a spot for me and don't be having God up there laughing too hard. 😂❤️😔😔

Remember the good times! Our deepest condolences. Love Alice, Suzanne, Kalvin & Russell

I would like to send my condolences to the Bates during this time of bereavement. I will truly miss Mama, she instilled alot in me from a child to an adult. I thank God for allowing you to be in my life and I will never forget the time that I was blessed to spend with you. To the Bates family, please know that you God is with you during your time of bereavement. The Sledge Family

To my sister-in-law, Sponcia Dell. I will miss your infectious laughter and our many talks about old times. It was a joy to spend time with you and my brother over many years. I will miss you.

Shontella, I'm sorry to hear about your Mama passing. My prayers are with you, family and friends.

AUNTIE! One of a kind❤️ Your presence will be missed, that infectious laugh, one of a kind voice and tone, amazing sense of humor and nothing more than you clutching that purse taking them short steps 😀 Take your rest , we will get along but it won't be the same. Who will my daddy clown with 🥲 CHONNNNIEEEE (say it like only you could)

Hey Mama!!! we are missing you so much, we're lonely without you, but we're going to be strong like you want us to. You're at peace so we are at peace. We know you're still with us, this one hit everyone so hard, because you was a Mother not only to only your eight children, but to everyone who was in your presence. Mama didn't take no mess, you were very outspoken said what you meant, and meant what you said lol, but everyone loved you so much no matter what. I miss your late night phone calls talking about," what you doing?" At 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. I'm grateful and thankful for everything you instilled in me, and I'm going to keep my head up and be the strong woman that you would want me to be. We love you Mama, your twin Shontella

Ms Sponcia Dell was a very lovely and caring woman. She was a great neighbor in saginaw. She loved life and lived it to the fullest. She had the greatest smile and loved laughing and enjoying life with family and friends. My deepest condolences to the family. She will be missed.

I SEND MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY💐🪽RIH BAYOU🥰😘

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
