My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Delbert spent a lot of time at our house with granddaddy when we were growing up. It has always touched our hearts that he named his son after our granddaddy John Lee, he would have been so proud of the man Delbert turned into. They are together once again and for this I rejoice.

Thoughts and prayers for you all in this difficult time. I really enjoyed visiting with Delbert over the past year when I was remodeling the house across the street from John and Savannah. He had a lot of wisdom and good stories to share. I know he will be deeply missed by the family.

I am brokenhearted with the loss of my big brother.
As we grew up Delbert was always a big cut- up and the life of the party but I always knew he had my back. Next to his Savior he loved his wife and children more than life. Family meant the world to Delbert. My loving thoughts and prayers will be with your family always.
I love your family with all my heart.
As Delbert called me, Little Sis and Lens

So sorry we cannot be with the family at this sad time. We will be there in thought and prayer at all times ,especially on Friday. We were together today in memory of Delbert. We can just see him looking down at us and yelling "I'M BETTER OFF THAN YOU ,' HALLELUJAH "We will never forget his sense of humor. We have lots of good memories to treasure.

Love you all with all our heart
