I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Puckett. I remember him so well back in the 50's. I attended Forest Lake Academy. Jim and Judy were two of my dearest friends, and Mr. Puckett came to Forest Lake to visit them often. We all had such fun with him and getting off campus. Jim, Judy, and all your families, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for your peace and comfort and to someday meet in heaven with your dad and all the family.

How do we say goodbye to a piece of ourselves? I have not yet learned that, I have only learned that all the pieces will be waiting for me at the end of my own journey. So, until we meet again I will hear you in my soul. Aunt Virginia, know that we are thinking of you and praying for you! All our love, Rebecca, Ron, Justin Riley and Delaney Jo
