Kelly, Heath, Kevin, and family. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during this sad time. I remember your dad coming in at Riceland, many years ago ,when I worked there and smiling, knowing he was going to have to smell your last name to me. I could say it but I never could remember how to spell it. I never seen him without a smile. Take comfort in knowing he has an even bigger smile today. God Bless Your Family.

Carol,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are sorry for your loss. It is always hard to give up someone we love. Daddy was always talking about things that happened with Marvin & Jewell and their children when they were young. He talked about Charles a lot. We thought Charles was a good man and we have fond memories of him. He was good to us.
May God Bless you and your family.
