I feel really bad that I wasn't here for her funeral. She was a great person. Della will be greatly missed. My sympathies to her family.

Don, Diane and Denny,

you all share an importance in that special place of my childhood memory. Not just amazing and fun neighbors, but a part of our (Komro family) lives. I especially appreciate how Della's words were always so encouraging and positive. She thought the world of me and that's how everyone felt in her presence. Such a gift! (I know she adored her family, too, by the words she spoke.) God bless you all.

Dear Hartvigsen family--I remember Della as a coworker at ACT, a fellow bazaar goer or just a fun surprise if you ran into her and Don out and about. She always seemed upbeat and happy. I thought of her when I thought of someone who really enjoyed life with her family and friends! She will be missed.

Della was always very friendly and ready to talk the times I saw her. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

don, dee, and den, i have wonderful memories of della. just after high school ,{1970), i was working on northwest junior high school,practically in your backyard. i would take my lunch up to your home and have my lunch and chat with della while she drank coffee. della ,{and don} seemed to always treat we younger people with a bit more respect than many other adults. we had some good conversations around that table. i also have many fond memories of weekend afternoons at the hartvigsen home when visiting with the flansburg family.please take some solace in knowing that della touched many young lives in a positive manner. RIP DELLA...kenny allan herdliska

Hartvigsen Family. I will always remember Della having a smile on her face, and always easy to converse with. She will be missed in the neighborhood. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jeff and Donetta.

So sorry to hear about Fella passing. She was always very friendly and personable. My thoughts are with you.

Don and family, Della will be missed by many. She always had such a bright smile and hug for all. Kind words and concern were her specialty, such a love for life. We are so sorry for your loss, Della was a treasure to all who met her.

For the life of me I'll never figure out how she golfed in flip-flops!

Sending love and hugs with prayers for your comfort and peace during this hard time and every day. Kyle and Sharon

There are no words I can say that will help the pain of Della being gone. She was a special person to all who knew her, always a big smile and ready to be a good friend. We had many good times, and when I walk through that door South of Coralville, I will be thinking of the lady I knew for the last 50 years or so and smile a little. Rest in Peace Della.

.....to a beautiful lady who was always so full of energy, enthusiasm and zest for life who gave so much happiness to so many.......

So sorry for you loss. Della always greeted me with such a sweet smile and kind word whenever I saw her at the Rec Center. I pray for peace for you and your family. You have my deepest sympathies.

Don and family.

Our sympathy to you during this time of sorrow.

Our sons go back many years and the fun times they had.

Della was always such a fun person and she will be missed by many.

Don I'm so sorry to hear of Della's passing. You were always my favorite "grown ups" to come visit. You treated us neighborhood kids like family even after we all had families of our own. We will keep you all in our prayers.

I just got this from Eve. I thought of another Della but was surprised it was she. I know life has been a struggle. My condolences to Don and family. I can see her eating and chatting at the Coralville Primetimers potluck or on her mat as Don led the exercises. May her soul rest in peace..
