Doyle, our condolences go out to you and your family during this time of loss... I remember when we were young fellas playing baseball in high school and would occasionally be at your place how nice your mom was to be around. I'm sure she'll be sorely missed. Praying for you and your family... Norval and Kim Blackwell
