Herbert and Faye always enjoyed seeing Karen and Joe when they could get to Mississippi. I will always have great memories of the cruise that I went on with the Tucker family.
You will be so missed but we are happy that you are with Jesus, your mom, dad, Rita, Charlie and all the family members that went before you.
RIP and prayers for the family.
