To The Family,

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Kimbrough, we only found out about it the day of services. Hobo has great memories with the entire family. Mr. Kimbrough was the only one that saw potential in him and gave him a chance by co-signing for his first new car. That meant a lot to him, and made a big impact in his life. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire family, may God grant Mr. Kimbrough peace.

Love,
Albert (Hobo) & Janis Grant

Your father/ grandfather is at peace. Think of the good times and smile. For comfort, read Ecclesiastes 3:1-15,17,19,20,22. May God bring you peace during this time. Back in the days of Dorie Miller.
