I am truly saddened to hear of Mr, Dabney's death. He has been a client of mine for more than 30 years,but he was much more than a client. He was a role model and inspiration to me. His positive attitude and rosey outlook on life always made my day better and inspired me to look at life the way that he did. It was one of the great pleasures of life to know Mr. Dabney. I will surely miss him. Richard E. Dick Moore, State Farm Insurance.

I am sorry to hear about your brother, father and grandfather. I can tell that he lived a full life and productive life. Although your light may be dim now, may the GOD we serve make each day brighter and brighter until the memory of his death become overshadowed by the memories of his life.

To Brenda and The Boys
May God be with all of you during these times of trail and suffering. Find peace in the fact that he is with his two best girls Lavinia and Wanda. It was a pleasure to see him everytime he came in the pharmacy, always boasting on the grandchildren and full of advice. What a true FAMILY man he was, he will be greatly missed.
