Vicky - we wish to offer our condolences on the passing of your grandfather and know that he is rejoicing to be with your grandmother who went before him this past year. We remember the good times in the past of going to the Frayser Maid for our "gigantic" cones with "gigantic" portions of chocolate custard!! for the girls - Rachel, Peanut, Puggy - and of course for us. May God shed his blessings twofold at this time and always. Jim & Joeann Carlisle & all the family

We miss you so much....the house is not the same without you. I will sure miss fussing at you for trying to go out the back door, to work a little outside. I always worried you'd have a heart attack out there.
I love you with all my heart & know you are so happy now...you CAN see...you CAN hear...you have a NEW body...you NO longer hurt. See you again...in Heaven!!!!

Vicky, Steven, Darryl Wayne & Hunter
