I was so sorry to hear of Dock’s passing. I have fond memories of the family growing up at Poplar Springs Baptist Church with them. I was a part of the bus church ministry and worked with Dock over the years. I can still hear Catherine playing the beautiful piano in my head ! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers!
