J.R., What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. What an amazing Southern Gentleman you were - Thanks for loving our family and letting my family love you - you will be missed. God Bless
From the Dennis, Pockett and Willis Families
