Diane and family - Our heart aches for your loss of Byron. He was a wonderful man, father, grandfather and husband. He will be deeply missed. The service was very warm and loving. Jennifer, you are quite the strong young woman! Bless you all and may God wrap His loving arms around you all during this time of grief. Know that we are only a phone call away and will be here for you, Diane at any time.
In Christian Love,

Diane, we are keeping you and your family in our prayers. We were shocked to see this terrible news in the Texarkana Gazette online this morning. Byron was a good friend, and we have lots of good memories going back many, many years.

To Byron's Family,
It was my honor to have served with Byron on the School Board for a number of years at Red Lick. He always put the best interest of the children as first priority.
I feel blessed to have called him a friend.
May the Lord comfort you during the days ahead.
