  1. Daddy,I love you so much! I will always be a Daddy’s Girl! I know you are in Heaven smiling down on us. I miss you so much! Melissa

  2. In our lifetime we shared the two most precious things in the world, Christie and Melissa! The love for our children and your wit will truly be missed. On 6210 you received your wings..Heaven got another angel!!

  3. Dear Randy, Sonya and family JR was our serviceman for many years while he worked at Whitco. He was such a good worker and we could always count on him to go above and beyond while he was doing his job. Once, he had to go under the house to check for ant hills. When he came out, he said he had some good newsbad news the good news was that there weren’t any ant hills, and the bad news was that we had a pin hole leak in the bathroom pipe. That saved us a lot down the road with this discovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know he loved those grandbabies so very much! God bless you all during this time of loss.

  4. I was very sorry to hear about JR. I don’t know how, but we all got by somehow in the good old days. None of us had money, but we had other things that money couldn’t buy. We all looked out after each other. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
