Delores Heskett honored her minister husband, graced his ministry and exemplified Christ throughout her life. She will be remembered as a true Christian whose love for God showed best in her love for her family and her church. Sister Heskett preferred not to be in the spotlight, but in her quiet, unassuming way, she outshined many who were. She was not only a rock and an anchor, she was a voice of wisdom and a refuge for many from the storms of life. Her loss impoverishes us all, but none more than her loving husband, Ernie, her children and her grandchildren. My sincere hope is that her legacy lives on far beyond the memories of those who knew her best.
