Dewain, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Barney and I are in Myrtle Beach this week, so we won't be at the visitation or service; however, please know that you are in our prayers.

Dot, so sorry for your loss. I can still remember Mr. Goodson and my dad fishing the Chickahominy River as I sat in the back of the boat just listening to their stories. Also remember him feeding the geese at Henricus Park. I know there's a special place in Heaven for men like him. Again, my condolences.
