To all of my family, I love you. The last thing that I heard Big Daddy say to me was "I Love You Too". Those words have a new meaning to me now. Big Daddy is a very lucky man when you think about it. He got it right with GOD!! That's something that many of us will not have the chance to do. I want to thank everyone for their prayer's and conciern in our time of grief.
-Big Momma, keep your head up. Although, I will not see the day again when I walk through your house and hear you yell "BUCK"! However, I know he will always be in your heart. I know that I will still be able to see my Big Daddy thru you. I love ya ol gal.

-Keep your head up momma (Shirley Strozier), Aunt Bren, Suzie, Tinnie, uncle Jr. & uncle Joe.

Love Ya'll,
Roslyn King-Vickers aka (Ne-Ne)

Sue,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this very sadden time. I know these times will be hard but, think of him in all the good ways that you used to spend with him and it will bring you through it. You will have times when you remember things he used to say or do some will make you sad and some will make you just want to laugh out loud. This always seemed to help me through the death of my father and continues to help on those special times as well.
