My condolences and prayers for Lisa and Heffington Family. It's hard losing a loved one especially a good man that has been a huge part of our lives. Grandpa Emmett Chance and Delbert were hard working men with a passion for horses and their families. I have some great childhood memories of them I will always cherish. A generation of men that will never be forgotten and missed by many generations for many years. Hugs Lisa, thinking about you!

Lisa, Cecil, Cody, Todd, and the rest of the family,
Ol' Delbert will sure be missed. I always enjoyed visiting with him and conversations. Seems my entire life has memories of Delbert, from him coming out and shoeing horses at Daddy's to him coming by to visit all of us at the Punkin' Patch. He was a big talker but he loved bigger. Cherish every memory with him and know that he left his mark on this world. Love y'all!

Lisa and Family, I always enjoyed my conversations with Delbert when we would run into each other at the Punkin Patch. Delbert always had a funny story to tell and I would always leave with a smile. Reta and I are thinking about all of you during this very difficult time.

Deepest condolences. I hadn't seen Delbert in years but made a many a trail ride with him back in the 70s and 80s and always had a good time. He was a good guy and shoed horses for me back in the day. We will be praying for the family.

Sorry to learn of Delbert's passing. We send our condolences to the remaining family members. We were the same age and I remember visiting in the home on a few occasions while he was still going to the Enola school. The Wiseman Solomon said there is a time and place for everything and death is going to catch up with each of us in due time.
