Dasharma and Ward, we lived neighbors to Blake and Annette for 34 years and before that Blake and I grew up on neighboring dairy farms. Great people and great neighbors. I always enjoyed visiting with them as I was walking my dog. Also Annette and I worked together at Baker Drug. Sure did miss them when they moved. God bless you and your families. Helen Gammill

Dasharma and family, I am so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away in September, he too was a native to the area and I just feel like they probably knew each other. Mike Turner and I will keep you in our thoughts during this very difficult time.
