I did know Flint as a young man, but I knew him growing up as a young boy. And I knew his Dad and grandfather Sid . Tommy build the house I lived in KC. Carhy and Derrel I have known for a long time. Time marches on for all of us. I pray for all the family in The Mighty Name of Jesus that you do not lose hope. If we name the name of Jesus In our hearts we will see each other again-----believe ii-----it is the God given truth. Jesus tells me to morning with you,but He also tells me to...
