So sorry to hear about Ike’s passing. Know now he is at peace and no longer in pain. God Bless
Our thoughts and prayers continue for Barbara and the rest of Ike’s family. He has touched the hearts of many including John and mine. We will always remember the Cousins Retreats on Holden Beach as well as Cruzing Cousins and weeks together in Florida to escape the cold of winter. Our travels together have taken us to many beautiful and interesting places. We rejoice that his final trip is in the hands of Our Heavenly Father! Peace and Love,
My Dearest Cousin that was always there for me and gave me advice in life. My fondest memories were always writing letters to him while he was in Vietnam. He would respond and was always so optimistic as he was in life. The memories will always be there and what a wonderful example he and Barbara were of LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT. A TRUE ROMEO & JULIET! He has shared his life with me and I am so very blessed and grateful. We will meet again one day in a place where there is no pain! God be with you and Barbara in her time of sorrow! Know that I am there for you! Love Always, Betty Gail and Jerry
