My dear beautiful sister been thinking of you in special ways so much this holiday season, as I decorated the "Hilltop" house, the memorial sites of Mom, Dad, Charles and Joy.

Dear Sis,
found a quote in one of your writing pads. I shared it on Facebook:"The smallest good deed( done!) is better than the grandest good intention!" It is so you. The little things you did to make life better for others and your unconditional love will always be imspiring. Enjoy being absent from the body but present with the Lord.

Two years ago this morning my dear mother fell asleep in the Lord. The pain of her loss is terrible but we anticipate a great reunion with her, my dad, and so many others who loved the Lord.
WE live on in His name, honoring Mommy, Daddy, their parents and their legacy, by praising God and bringing Him glory.

It's Memorial Day weekend and I on the way to the Hilltop to take flowers to our Parents', and other family member gravesites. I'll place one beside Mom and Dad for you too. I miss you so.

Well gotta get outta here and to worship services at Ferguson Grove the to the Hilltop.

We only learn about Loretta's death on yesterday, 5/27/2010. We are visiting our son in Virginia. We entered her name to see if she...
