Daddy it seems like yesterday you left me. I think about you every day, and I miss you so much still. I had the same heart surgery you had, and at the same hospital you had yours in. I guess you can say I am a true DeLoach. I love you and I know I will see you again. Your daughter that truly loves you. Love, Gigi

Daddy, I love and miss you so much. I am approaching the 2nd anniversary of your passing on 01-06-2018. There hasn't been one day, that I haven't thought about you during the day somewhere or sometime in my day. I pray you are happy being back together with your Parents, Mom and Darlene. I've try to remember all you've taught me, and I've kept our family traditions the same, as you asked me to do...just so different w/o you here. I know I will see you again, and I will join our family again one day. I did go to the U.S.Navy Reunion this past September, as you asked me to go in your place. I love and miss you Daddy. Your #2 Daughter, Debra DeLoach Jones (Gigi).

Condolences to the Deloach family regarding your loss. May God comfort you and give you peace.

Bill and I were so sad to learn about our friend Ed. His impromptu visits to our home will be greatly missed. He more often than not would bring us a pecan pie which he made. They were great! We also would enjoy meeting him for lunch especially when we went to Rio Vista. He was a very interesting man and was best friends with my husbands son Dave Clark. Love Bill& Dana Clark.

Daddy, I love you and miss you terrible already. You were the best daddy in the whole world. I know you are dancing with Mom and Darlene, and listening to "your 40's music." Every time I hear the song, "Glow little glow worm glow," I will think of me dancing standing on-top of your feet in our kitchen as a little girl. I love you with all my heart daddy. Gigi

January 7, 2018

Daddy, I loved you more than anything on this earth, and I already miss terrible. Thank you for being my daddy. I know you are dancing with mom and Darlene now, and listening to the 40's. Every time I hear that song, "Glow little Glow-worm-Glow," I will think of you, and remember standing on-top of your feet dancing with you as a little girl. I was so thankful that the Lord allowed that extra time with you, yesterday, and I got to see you go home to be with the Lord. I will always remember just how special these past 8 years have been taking care of you. It was my honor, and I love you forever.

I met Ed at the breakfast club several years ago. He was a joy to speak with and he was familiar with my home town (Constitution) and we knew a lot of the same people there. I loved his stories. A great guy.
