Joyce and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We sure did think a lot of Junior. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Junior was always so friendly and had such a good sense of humor. He was one of the hardest working person I know. And I will always remember his handlebar mustache.He was a good man and will be truly missed. Our sympathy and prayers are with you.
Love,
Sue, Jimmy & Robert Mustard
