Aunt Dotsy, Junnie, Gary, Jewell and Bobby, My heart is heavy thinking about AUncle Levi. I will always remember how he always came out into the yard when I drove up to give me and my family a big hug and his great big warm smile. I also appreciate the help he gave to Mom and Dad especially when they were not able to cut the grass. I know that he is in the arms of Jesus, smiling down at us and saying that he is ok. I know that he has his arms wrapped aroud his family that he loved so much. Rest in peace dear Uncle. We love you and look forward to meeting you in God's Kingdom. Love Sandy
