DeWayne, children and grandchildren,

My heart is saddened to hear of Sherrill's homegoing joining her dad and brother.

You all welcomed me into the family in 1970 and over the years we enjoyed many memorable times of family fun and also years of working with PTS.

We all said goodbye to Don on his homegoing, December 25, 1995.

May God be with all of you and guide you through the days ahead.

With love to all of you.
