TANK, I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER. SORRY TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING. MAY GOD PLACE HIS HEALING HAND ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME.
Tank and family I was so sorry to turn on the computer to see you all had lost Leon. I am so sorry that I could not be there for you but I am so sick. I also wanted to say that I did not know until way after the fact that we had lost my other buddies, Robert and Ken. Man that was a real shocker too. Please send my regards on to their families. I thought the world of all these guys and working with Ken and Robert was a big hoot to boot. My prayers are with you all.
Love In Christ,
Linda G. Williams

Mr. T,
I never saw you without you having a smile ready to share. You and Mrs. T. made this shy teenager always feel welcomed in your home while hanging out/growing up with your three girls. I keep those sweet memories close to my heart. I know Mrs. Rachel was ready to meet you at Heaven's Gate. I pray for God's comfort now for your daughters, family and friends.
Deepest Heartfelt Condolences,
Shelia
I thought the world of Mr. "T". He was such a good, fun loving man! He always had a joke to tell and made you laugh.
I love you Mr. T. You will be missed by everyone.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss and praying that God gives your family peace in your time of grief.
Debbie, I was so sad to hear about your Daddy. He was such a sweet man. I will surely be praying for you in the days to come.
Love,
Debbie
