He was a wonderful kind man. I am so very honored to have been able to care for him during his last days. I will always think of him when putting my rooster in his place.

Absolutely one of the finest examples of a man of God I have ever met. I’m sure he and Janie are holding hands and walking the streets of gold, together again at last!
