Aunt Martha, Liz, Ronnie, and Martha Sue we are so sorry for your loss. We loved Uncle Jr. and will miss him very much. When I was little, there was nothing more fun than getting together with you guys. Ya'll were our only family and were very special to us. It is a sad time, but what a comfort to know he is with Jesus and our loved ones who are already there! I bet Wade Sr. is beaming with joy to see his boy again, he thought he hung the moon. We love you very much and are praying for you during this season of mourning. Love Mary Lu and Keith
