To the Battle Family, what a pleasure to have known Mr Battle first as a supervisor in Maintenance and then as the father of his daughter, Rhonda. Anytime I saw Mr. Battle he always had a loving smile on his face. My sympathy to Rhonda and all who loved Mr. Battle, may his soul rest with our almighty Savior. Love and hugs from Rita and her late husband, Carlos Quihuis.
