“About a month ago we lost our beautiful mama, Delle, almost three months to the day after we said goodbye to our dad (David Coloff). Delle had been battling a rare form of blood cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, for nearly eight years. Like all challenges in her life, she fought this disease with a strength that defied imagination while still managing to keep us laughing with her wickedly dark sense of humor. She passed at Emily’s home while being cared for by both of us.” – Anya Coloff

What a shame. She was such a beautiful woman. She had few words in Jerimiah Johnson but her eyes spoke volumes. She has such a screen presence it was a shame she didnt do more work after JJ. RIP Delle Bolton.
