Whooping Day was his way of saying Happy Birthday😂
Sweet, caring man of God. Elder Delane will be truly miss.
💔 Saddened 😢 to see my H&R Block Co-worker Friend Earnest Delane Sr. passed away, but I know for sure he crossed over Jordan to his eternal reward. He was always telling us when something didn't sit right with his Christian belief. I loved that about him & definitely appreciated his honesty. We spent many a weekend working tax season together. 💞 See you on the streets of gold one day my friend. 🙏 Many prayers for his family and friends. 🙏
Sincerely,
Rhonda Cooley
Ernest always met me with a big smile and a hug at every family reunion since I met him!! He was a kind, faithful husband,loving father and grandfather. He was one of my cousins that I always looked forward to seeing!!! He left a huge family legacy. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him ❤️ Cousin Ernest has left the building and his absence has left a space no one will be able to replace.
Prayer and Condolences for Mrs. Brenda Dee and Family 🙏🏽🌹. God Bless You.
Prayers for the family
