Regina,Roxanne and Lee, I have fond memories of your father from our childhood days on Spring Creek Rd. and am so sorry for your loss. I can remember one time he opened his car trunk and had a very large amount of Lovable lute in there- That layed quite an impression on a young girl! He and my dad were constantly waging war on those pesky wild onions ever present in the lawn. They lost of course. There are other things coming to mind as I write this and would like to share with you. Blessings to you all. Fondly, Meg Olley Starnes

Roxan,
I know that losing your Father is hard to bear. He lived 90 years and spent 60 of those with you Mom. We should all be so blessed.
Mary and I are holding you in our hearts and praying for you and your family.
