Joel and Suzzie, words can not express our feelings for your Dad. We loved him very much. Joel and Sibyl were a major factor in Leigh and I meeting. They were in our Bible sharing group for over 12 years and I was in another one before that with them. They were a second set of parents to us. They are together again! Love



Phil, Leigh and Leigh Ann
