Jackie Lewis and family, I met your father at Ginter Park South when I came to visit my uncle, Sherlon May. My father, Bill May, Sherlon's brother comes to the home often to visit, he and my step-mother, Margaret thought a lot of your father. Your father was a very diginified, handsome man with such a beautiful singing voice. I LOVED it when he sang for us! His voice was uplifting and he fillled me with a sense of peace. The Lord surely Blessed your Father, he now sings in heaven! Jackie, it was good that you could be there with your Father and watch over him. What a special family you all are. I will keep you all in my prayers Brenda Sanders
