We were saddened to hear of Delvin’s passing. He was a great guy and cousin. We thought his funeral services were well done.

To Delvin's Sons, Justin & Jason, Family & Friends: Today, November 13th, 2021, I was surprised to learn of Delvin's passing. Our last conversation was a short time ago (in May ) when we, once again, shared a conversation of common comfort for both of us, our salvation and the assurance from God's "tried & proven" Word that gives the precious promise of forgiveness and eternal life through our trust in our precious Lord & Savior Jesus Christ (John 3:16). I am immeasurably comforted by Delvin's firm statement of faith accordingly. It is especially comforting to know that, through this faith, all of us can see Delvin again ! I thank God for Delvin. His bright Christian spirit has served to encourage me over the years. With Gratefulness, Franklin Thomas
