We both know there was a "glad reunion day" on Saturday. I am so glad that Pappy's suffering is over. The angels are singing and Heaven is getting sweeter all the time. The sun rose today, keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart. God hears our prayers.

Having grown up in East End, I've known Donnie Sue Reed my whole life. Donnie Sue was an "older girl" and I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world, later realizing that beauty was inside as well as outside. Lana, the loss of your sweet beautiful mother breaks my heart but we know she is joined with the band of angels we will all see one day. Prayers for God's peace in these most difficult days. You, your dad and Charley will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. We love you.

Lana, Charley, and Hubert we send our deepest sympathy over the loss of Donnie Sue. In the early years she was a 2nd Mama to me, and there are lots of fond memories that will never be forgotten. She was a sweet lady and will be in our hearts forever. I am so thankful she didn't have to suffer long, and she is in a wonderful place now. We will continue to pray for God to comfort and strengthen you. Love you all......Carolyn Sue and Merrell
