Emma, Doug & Family, Floyd & Family

Time passes so quickly. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we are thinking of you at this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that your Husband/Father is now set free and having a wonderful time with those that have passed on before. Sometimes I close my eyes and can still see the good times that we all had together in years past with our entire Family. Yes, even in our God given little Robey Hollow. Life at its fullest even though we may not have realized it at the time! I will always remember and cherish each small blessing that our Father allowed us to have together. God Bless You and Yours

Emma, Doug & Carol and girls, and Floyd & Kathy and Derick---The thoughts and prayers of my family are with you all.
I have fond memories of Delbert and his sense of humor, mostly from my childhood, and when my cousin, Susan, and I would visit your home during the summer. He made us laugh.
As someone said to me when my father passed on December 4, 1986, I will say to you: God needed a flower for his garden, and he chose Delbert.
Love you all.
Your cousin, Christie and Family

Uncle Delbert will be missed. I have wonderful memories of him. Every year he would bring my Aunt Emma to W.VA.(Her mom's house)and it would always make me smile because (it never failed) he always would remind me when I was a toddler and how I fell and hit my eye. I still have a scar. And he always told me what a beautiful baby I was. My prayers to Aunt Emma, cousin Doug and his family, and cousin Floyd and his family. I love you all.
Love, Niece Kathy Gray, Plano TX

Uncle Delbert will be missed. I have such fond memories of him.
Years ago he would bring my Aunt Emma to W.VA. (where my grandmother lived). It always made me smile when he would tell me the story about when I was a toddler and how I fall and hit my eye. Of course I still have that scar. I always enjoyed talking with him.
I just wished we could have all lived closer. Prayers to my Aunt Emma,cousin Doug and his family, and cousin Floyd and his family.
I love you all.
