EVA
Words cannot express how I felt when I heard "Pettie" had passed. I thought of all the vacations we shared with our children. To know "pettie" was to love him, because once you got to know him, you fell in love with him. I am so glad I got to see him on last month. Just know that you have a lot to be thankful for. God gave you 42 years with him and that it self is a blessing. We love you all, Jackie Bynum and Monique West
