Dear Kim. Keith, who is now deceased, and I shared many happy times with Bubba and Roma--remember the Rook games? Your dad was one of a kind--the best! One thing that will always stand out to me was his loyalty to his family and friends. God bless you!

We are going to miss our good wise friend especially outside and in the garden, a true southern gentleman always there to lend a hand or to share some helpful knowledge. Bette and Christina Powell
