Bunny, Annie, Don, Ginger, Bruce, and all the kids.
My heart and soul pour out to you all during this time of sorrow. It was such a shock to hear.
I hold my memories of spending the night with him when we were kids. He showed me my first walking stick out back of the house. We used to go to the market in Coleman when we visited GrandMa Mayhew and Annie would bring him over. We would get a jar of olives and some army men and have a blast for a few hours.I will miss him dearly even though we have not talked in a few years. If any of you need anything please call, Paula and I will do our best. Our love and prayers are with the family and with Brian.
