     * Steps:
     * 1. Recursively find the node that has the same value as the key, while setting the left/right nodes equal
     * to the returned subtree
     * 2. Once the node is found, have to handle the below 4 cases
     * a. node doesn't have left or right - return null
     * b. node only has left subtree- return the left subtree
     * c. node only has right subtree- return the right subtree
     * d. node has both left and right - find the minimum value in the right subtree, set that value
     * to the currently found node, then recursively delete the minimum value in the right subtree
