Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Karen, it has been many years since I have seen you and Doug, but I have many memories of you two, when I would tavel with the group the Born Again , Steve, Mickey , Tony, you and Doug were a big part of my life back then. I was thinking the other day about when your group went to minister at Bunn’ Prison camp and Mickey just for fun told the inmates I was gonna sing, I was stunned, to say the least the inmates did not take it as a joke and oh well the rest of the story is history, yes I had to sing !!! My grandmother Geneva Joyner loved each and everyone of you dearly, I am so sorry for your lost, but I know that God will see you thru this and the faith you always had in him will guild you . I know he would be proud to know Steve and Tony will be there to help celebrate his life. Sincerely Pamela Bunn Guthrie
