Sending love and prayers your way! I know I don't need to tell you what a wonderful man Mr. Kingery was, but I feel so blessed to have known him. He and Mrs. Kingery were an inspiration to Brandon and I when we were dating and when we made the decision to get married. We hope to model that same unconditional love for our family and friends! I am saddened by your loss, but am comforted knowing that I have another angel to watch over me!

To the Kingerys,
Butch and I want you all to know that we love you all. We are both sadden by this terrific loss of a wonderful friend. We want each of you to know that we were proud to know Silas (Mr. Kingery). We never saw him that he wasn't ready for hugs, a funny story and a smile. He has been, along, with Marian (Mrs. Kingery) a testimony to what life is. That no matter what happens in life you accept it and go on and have a wonderful day today, tomorrow will take care of itself. We have been blessed to know such a wonderful man. God Bless you all!
