Gearld,Twila ,Sheila , Karen. So sorry I was unable to make it to your dad funeral because of meetings at our church. Your dad & aunt Arlene was always such a joy to be around. They had so much love for each other & their family. May the Holy Spirit give each of you peace & strength. Bonnie

I haven’t seen uncle Jr in years and so sorry to hear of his passing. Nothing I loved more as a child going to their house on Thanksgiving. I always loved looking at all of Arlene’s pictures on the wall, and now I have a wall just like it. Their home was just such a loving environment. Jr was a very special kind man.
