Uncle Delbert holds a very special place in my heart. He treated me like one of his own and was always a source of comfort and joy. It’s only now that I realize he made everyone he knew feel this way.
I’ll miss his stories, his smile, and eating dessert with him.
Love and support to my dear Aunt Pam, Derek, all of Delbert’s boys and sisters. Thank you for sharing him with me.

Clint, Jamie and family,
I was so sad to hear this. You were so good to your dad and took such good care of him. He isn’t suffering anymore. I’m praying the precious memories you made with him will help to sustain you during this difficult time.
Love and Prayers,
Mary Russell
