Burial for Delila Grayson-Child of Vet Mom

Please help me bring home and lay to rest my lovely daughter Delila. On August 7, 2022, Delila became the victim of a senseless, brutal murder in Georgia, far away from her family home in Central Florida. She was only 19 years old.

Delila was born while I was in the Active Army, stationed in Ft. Wainwright, AK. Shortly after having her, our family returned home to Florida. She grew up in Kissimmee, FL with her brothers and sister. Delila attended Columbia Elementary, Lake Marion Creek Middle, and Poinciana High Schools.

A few months ago, she ambitiously moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area with a high school boyfriend, seeking independence and hoping to “make a-go of it” on their own. The relationship turned sour and filled with domestic violence. Delila decided that it had all become too much. Late Saturday evening on August 6th, she called and told me she was coming home. She wanted to go back to school and planned to enroll in Valencia College (Kissimmee). She never made it. Within 24 hours, she was murdered in her own apartment. Delila was less than a month shy of her 20th birthday.

I want to bring my daughter home and closeout her Riverdale, Georgia apartment. We will give her the chapel service she deserves. The investigation is on-going and we expect to get clearance from the coroner to bring her home in the coming days.

She was so full of love and life. We are so heart broken. We loved our angel so much as she and I were very close and our family are deeply grieving.

I am her mother and served 14 years in the Army. With the murder of Delila I am now on my own raising my 6 children and I am unable to get the funds together to bury Delila without assistance.

Our family greatly appreciates any and all support.

Thank you,

Christina,

Delila’s Mom
