Aunt Georgia Faye, Shelia & Angelia,
We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's death. I always enjoyed spending summer vacation with all of you when we visited Arkansas.
Love to all,

Shelia and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Hold close your memories....
Mrs. Fletcher, Shelia, Angela and Family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. BJ. He was the Sealtest Man for my Dad's grocery store, C & P Grocery. He was always fair and square, kind, smiling, friendly and helpful. As the years progressed and I met Shelia and Angela, I would see where those same traits were prevalent in their daily lives. It was a blessing and a joy to know Mr. BJ and his family. May God bless you as you travel the road ahead. Be blessed.
Dear Angelia and family. We want to offer our condolences at this time. Please know that we are keeping you and the family in our prayers.
So very sorry. He was a father to me, too. My husband, bruce, and I have the family in our hearts and prayers.
Angelia and Shelia I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a very nice man. I'll never forget being at your house and hearing him play the piano. My thoughts are with your family. Love and prayers to both of you and your mom.
Deepest sympathy,
Gary & Debbie Whitney
