Words seem almost impossible to find. Laura, Jennifer, Lindsey and Valerie, please know how truly sorry I am for your loss. I can not even begin to imagine to enormity of pain you are experiencing. Skeeter certainly impacted my life in ways he most likely never even knew. He was truly an amazingly gifted artist that God truly blessed with incredible talent. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, as I ask the Lord to bring you peace and comfort at such a difficult time.
In Love,...
