I am so sorry for your loss! Though I didn't know your daddy well girls, it was obvious that he was a kind, selfless man who adored his family. Y'all will remain in my thoughts and prayers while y'all adjust to this new chapter in your lives. Love!
I have such great memories of Delbert. What a great man. He loved his family and showed it. Alicia would always call to have her daddy bring food and he was up to the salon in a flash. Sometimes he would just stop by to see how things were going. He Always had a smile on his face. Delbert and Debra you have raised some good kids. I know he is looking down on each of you smiling that big smile of his from Heaven. Love ya'll..
While not being in touch with Delbert over the past years, his classmates would like to offer their condolence and prayers to the family. Delbert will always be remembered as a well liked and respected classmate.
Delbert-
You were always a wonderful man. You always smiled and always loved your girls like no other. I remember all the times you would come to the salon and check on Alicia. You always laughed and greeted with care in your heart. Your a beautiful Angel watching over your girls and son. Your truly loved.
Love,
Brooke Bredensteiner

He is no longer in pain and is in a far better place now. We pray that you and your family find peace and comfort knowing that you will see him again.

Remember the great times @ Aunt Gerty's & Uncle Melvin's when dropped off by Mom & Dad as they went to work. Delbert was the closest to my age and good memories of playing around.
Mostly remember our conversation about joining the Air Force since I was already in the AF and he was considering.
Love you Delbert and will miss you even IF our times together the past too many years did not happen.
