I will remember your phone calls to the office identifying yourself as "senior." You were always kind to me and I enjoyed our many conversations about God and your beautiful family. You left a wonderful legacy to the rest of us in this world. I know you have your wings now and I pray for those who sorely miss you, especially your beautiful wife Mrs. June!
