Rest in peace Grover

Grover was a kind man. We worked together at Danberry. We often had many conversations about family, sports and life itself. He was a hard worker and made a point of doing his job well. When he was about to finally call it quits and move to Atlanta, he talked often of his children and his future plans with them. He was a special friend and will be missed by family and friends.

Rashonda, my prayers are with you and your family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. Prayers for you cousin WADE & siblings and family

Send God´s Peace and Grace to the family. Much love to you all. Audrey Johnson
