Denise - You and your family are in our prayers. I remember when Tyler and I lived there and attended Macedonia with you guys...and Mr. Bobby took Tyler under his wing (Tyler was only 4) and he used to cut Tyler's hair. I know heaven has an angel who had the most wonderful spirit...Denise, you be strong, and know that God's comforting arms are around you in this bereavement hour.
