    Family of Delayne: Our hearts are saddened to hear of Delayne' s passing. I was a childhood friend of Mila and so my Mother could work to provide for us, I became a part of the Campbell family. Mrs. Campbell watched me after school and it was at that time, I came to know Delayne. She loved me as if I was another sister. She will always hold a special place in my heart!!
