Not sure what to say?

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Atkins, even though I feel like I did. His son Michael is one of my closest friends and life confidants, and daughter Stanley is a jewel. Judging from the two of his children whom I've had the pleasure to meet, I can say with confidence that Mr. Atkins was quite a man. Rest in pease sir.....

I work at Crestview and have known Matthew & Georgia for the past 3 years and have helped take care of him as his Aide. He always smiled at me and we always kissed each other on the cheek and said good morning. I will miss his smiling face and all the stories he told us. My prayers go out to his wife & kids. May God put his hand on your shoulders and give you strength. Kate Jelens
