Mr. Hughes was such a wonderful person, great Dad and good friend. I will miss him terribly. I have such fond memories of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, living beside of me and growing up during our "teenage" years with Janet and Judy.

Janet and I will always remember our "fishing trips" with our Dads and how much fun we all had together.

My deepest sympathies and prayers to this wonderful family!

Love,

Linda DePriest MacKenzie
