Bro Byrd, thank you for all the inspiration and encouragement on life and family well being. When I was down in a point in my life you gave me some true strength and valves to look upon. Bro Byrd, God has called you home now. Your job here is done you have done what our father in in heaven has asked. But it´s the lives you have touched in so many ways including my own. To the Byrd family you have my condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Darrell Snelling and family.
