My name is Charles Gibson and I am living in Austin Texas, I want to say that David foster and I grew up as nextdoor neighbors living a dirt road called Shannon line during the fiftie and sixties " now that same dirt road has been paved and name Taylor Lane, during early ninety's the city of Opelika had all the house's torn down' except two.... it's always kinda of sad to hear that a friend or love one have passed away" but never the less we all have to give up these earthly Tabernacles that have return to the dust... But thank to our heavenly father ' he have made it possible for his children to have an eternal resting place in the body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" whom he have raised from the dead," in Christ Jesus name amen
