Skeeter was a part of my life many years ago. Went to see him at Enough Pointe several years ago. He talked about Gary and Randy and Janet. Had absolutely no idea who I was. So thankful to hear he is at peace now. Sorry for his passing and my thoughts are with all his family.

Sitting across from him knowing I would marry his son, Gary, that would look just like him, and thinking.....I can live with that :) Sending love and healing to all of the family.
