Roma also shared her experience of when the two first met. “I remember when I first met her, I’m originally from Ireland, and I can still remember my parents teaching me to stick my hand out, to shake hands, to be polite.I remember the first day that I did that, and she just took her arms and gave me a giant hug.”

While remembering her friend who passed away, Roma also shared about the first time Della met Roma Downey's future husband.
