I remember your Dad as a wonderful Father, raising his boys after Mrs. Allen's untimely death. He loved his farm, and putting seed into the earth to see it multiply. Blessed be the sower, for his fruit will be seen in heaven. Kenny and I send our sincere sympathies to all of you. Karen and Kenny Fuquay
