There are so many times I think of all of you and what you mean in my life. When my Daddy was dying I remember Uncle DR being there to visit him and lovingly making sure that Daddy believed in Jesus as his personal Saviour. I can be happy knowing Daddy was there at Heaven's Gate to greet and welcome Uncle DR into Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Carl & Lorene

Carolyn Jerry, Pam and all the rest of this wonderful family, my heart is breaking with yours at the loss of Uncle D.R. Memories are flooding my mind of all the times he was so patient and loving with Aunt Lois all the years and always had such great hugs to give and made you feel he really cared for you. He will always stay in my mind as a sharp dresser and a quite talker with a sense of humor all his own. He balanced out my wonderful exceptional Aunt Lois. My childhood was better because of their unexpected visits. He was a great man,a loving uncle and more than anything a Christian that lived his faith. His singing voice I will always remember. I love you all and will be praying for peace for your sorrow.
Love Carol Ann
