Teresa and Ricky,
Your daddy was a wonderful man.
We loved his sense of humor and
the times he used to sing at Riverside.
Heaven was blessed with another warrior.

To Terri and family:
I was sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with you during your time of sorrow. Ron and Lisa lost their dad ten years ago next month.
I know a little of what you are feeling.
Terri, you've always had a wonderful smile and laugh. Your dad would not want you to loose that.
May God Comfort You All
