    Scotty, Billy, Dwayne and Brenda,
    I am sorry about the loss of your Dad. He was a fine man and your mom was a fine woman as reflected in each of you.
    I had a unplanned doctor visit Monday and that kept me from being at the funeral.

    I am so sorry for the loss of your daddy , Mr. Bill. He was a good man. I thought the world of him. I can only imagine his face when he saw Dorothy Nell and his mother and daddy ! So many loved ones he had missed. God bless all of you during this sad time.

    I loved growing up near Mr Bill, Mrs Dorothy Nell, Mr Scott and Mrs Anita. Those were the best days of my life and I learned about goodness from this family. Mr Bill was a man of few words so he married a conversationalist. I’ll forever be grateful to this family for the influence they had on me. God bless the family.
