  3. Long ago, when Lacy was a baby and Tabigail was living (along with Apple) EK and I used to ride horses together once in a while. He always had the best stories to tell. He was an unforgetable character in our community and he will be missed. Prayers for the family. Robbie

  4. EK and I go back for many, many years. EK was a energetic person and would do anything to help someone out. He loved his hunting and was a respected hunter. I have not seen EK for a couple of years, but will always remember him for the person he was and how he treated everyone he met. He was a truly good person and loved his family. Kemp Edwards

  5. My condolences to you and the family during this difficult time. I will always remember Red as a man that could read the ways of nature and become one with it. I was passing by your house a couple of months ago and EK was at the mailbox. I stopped and talked with him for quite a while, reminiscing and discussing good memories. I am glad I got to talk with him. You have my prayers for strength and comfort as you get through this sad time!
