Once again, I thought about what you are going through. This is my 3rd Father's Day without Daddy. I still miss him so much and it is so hard. I know my mother feels so lost and alone, but all of her five daughters try to keep her busy and not alone a lot. I can not say it gets easier, because for me. it hasn't. I do have the peace of mind to realize he is with God and that God will take care of him now. The lonliness will be with me until the day I die. I love and pray for all of you. Wrex, Charlie, and my Daddy are somewhere in heaven laughing (and possibly fishing) together. God Bless you all. That song Precious Memories stays on my mind all of the time, because how those precious memories do linger and how they ever flood my soul. Love You.

Annette & Family,

I know you & your family are going thru a very hard time now. Wrex was a very good man, husband, father & grandfather. He loved joking better then anyone I know, we all at Coca-Cola loved it, never knowing what was going to happen next. It kept us going. Always remember the times you all spent with Wrex. It will help you, because I know, I lost my mother last year and that was the 2nd hardies thing I ever went thru, the 1st was my father 22 years ago, I still miss them both dearly. May God Bless each & everyone one of you. Becky, your mother will need you more then every now and your sisters also. If you every need me for anything, just call me. Take care of yourselves & each other.

To the loving family of Wrex:

Wrex was one of the kindest gentlemen I knew. I came to Coca-Cola in 1984 and from the time I met him, he was always willing to help everybody in any way he could. Becky, you are also special in my heart since I did know you for the while you were here too. I can definitely say I know how you feel because I lost my Dad 2 years ago and I am still in denial.

My prayers and my heart are with you and your family in the time of such saddness and sorrow. May God be with you and keep you all by his side. Mr. Wrex and my Dad will be great friends in Heaven.

My love to all of you.
