Nina,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Jr. was a wonderful Christian man and loved serving his community in the Rescue Squad. We were so fortunate that he was there when Kimberly needed help because we felt assurred she would be okay with Jr. I know you will miss him as we all will. Mama enjoyed working at Amelia Dress with Jr. and I know she would love to be there with you but cannot because of health issues. Please know that we are all thinking of you and have you in our prayers.
