Joey, Timmy, Clara and Millie: In this time of sadness keep faith that God will care for your Father. His love for family, life, animals, and trees was apparent to me in the moments I had with him. I will miss his smile and kind, gentle ways. Please find comfort in remembering the love, strength and family ties he gave you.

Joey, Timmy, Clara and Millie Lou,
My love and prayers are with you at this very sad time of Uncle Earl's passing. Please know he and Aunt Millie and you all were a favorite part of my childhood (Christmas trees and tobacco picking and playing with animals and each other). The thought of his always smiling, twinkling eyes always makes me smile. Heaven has received a very gentle soul to watch over us all. God bless you all.
