Mr. Fields was always the same each time I got to talk to him. He always made me and my family feel welcome in his home. I loved to talk to him especially about Alabama Football. Great Christian man and you felt that each time you talked with him. Aunt Ora and Renee, you had a good husband and father. Love you both.
Johnny and Wanda Cole & family.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Field's passing. I grew up in Circlewood Baptist Church and I remember your family well. My mother, Mary Hardy, always thought so much of your family. I know that He was a faithful servant and loved the Lord Jesus Christ. Praying for peace and the presence of the Lord at this time. Janice Hardy Monaghan
