Dear Richard, Gail and Duck's family and friends in Virginia. I am very sorry for your loss and ours for Aunt Duck. We all loved her and will miss her. God was ready for Duck to come with him. She isn't suffering anymore. I hope that each one of us will continue to hold our memories close to our hearts. Aunt Duck was the last sister that mamaw had left. I pray that both mamaw and my mom (Betty) are with Duck right now catching up on all the things that has went on here since both of them passed. Remember we love you and are here for you.
