Papa, A few weeks has passed and this just doesn't seem real to me. You know how much me and Daddy long legs are going to miss you. You helped out in every way. Every time I spoke with you I expressed my love and gratitude towards you.I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore and I know you are in a better place.It's the holidays and I'm upset you had to leave so soon.Anything you needed I was there and you expressed the same concern.I will cherish every moment with you and I am going to grant you your wish by making sure Dylan knows the man that made everything happen,however, that won't be too hard because everytime we walk in your house he is searching for the man with that grey hair in his face. I love you Papa

Dear Mrs. Mayfield,
It is with true mixed emotions that we send our condolences to you and the family. We know that you were there every step of the way helping Mr. Mayfield in his valiant fight for life. And oh how he fought! So now we celebrate his victory over cancer - he is free of the burden of failing health. We pray you are comforted by the knowledge that to be absent from the body is to be home with the Lord. But, while celebrating his victory, we mourn your loss! What a blessing to have known this man of honor and courage. We will be praying for all of you especially this weekend and for some time to come.
Rev. and Mrs. Luthur Walker
