Mr. "Big Done" often took my mother on errands, stopped by to chat with her as she sat on her porch, called to check on her and sometimes brought her "food share" when I was in class. Thank God for his gift of helps ,for he did just that--helped many. He helped those in the Deep creek community for many years. May you be strengthened by the memories of your loved one. I will miss Mr. "Big Done".
