MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY...TONY RAN ACROSS MY MIND TONIGHT AND I DECIDED TO DO A SEARCH .. I MET HIM WHEN I WAS 13 IN 1974 AT THE JIMMY ROGERS MEMORIAL FESTIVAL STREET DANCE IN MERIDIAN MISSISSIPPI.. I HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM.. I GUESS NOW I CAN PUT AWAY MY TONY DOUGLAS MEMORY BOOK BUT NEVER THE MEMORIES.... HE DEFINITELY TOUCHED MY LIFE... JUST ASK MY FAMILY, ANYONE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH , OR ANYONE IN MERIDIAN!!!!!! SUCH SWEET SWEET TIMES

And no resident will say: “I am sick…”Isa 33:24. We can be sure of this reality because God has promised as seen from his divine words about the near future; perhaps you or I may see those missing from our lives due to sickness or tragic injury that lead to death. Prayers go out to the surviving family and friends.

Mim, I'm sorry that I didn't keep in touch. My condolences to you and to the family. This is Lane... I don't know why I didn't keep in touch. I have no excuse. My heart is very heavy because of the fact that I didn't stay in touch. I'm so very sorry, Mim...
