As a child Uncle IRA and Aunt Marlene took me back to Virginia from a visit to Indiana.He put a plywood bed in the back of the the car so the kids could sleep on the way.That was the good old days, you couldn't get away with that now. I stayed with grandma and grandpa O'dell that week and that is one of the greatest memories of my childhood.I will miss Uncle IRA expecially at Brickyard 400 time.And NO I won't be cheering for Gordon.Maybe Stewart.To the Jernigan family I am truly sorry for your loss, I will keep you in my prayers.

I am so sorry for the loss of your father, husband and 'PopPop'. I know he meant the world to all of you and will be sorely missed by all who ever had the great joy of knowing him. I think of the stories Mike has told me of fishing adventures and hunting with him and I know how much that meant to them both. I will pray for peace and strength for each of you in the coming days ahead.
