Linda said today that she will miss that little twinkle
in his eyes and that sweet smile. I will always think of Windel as a friend that would help when you needed it. He was a dear friend that helped us in many ways.
Dear Lord, please comfort, the Braddy family in their time of grief. Be with them and love them and draw them closer to you.
Lord, let happy memories ease their sorrow.

Sincere condolences on your loss.
