Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
During a summer vacation week in 1977 (give or take a year) with Daddy & Janet – she took Kim, Cindy, Bobbie Ann, and me to see the movie Grease like three times in that one week. That was a very fun memory!

I am sorry to hear of your loss. When we lose someone in death, the pain, the grief and the feeling of helplessness can seem unbearable. The Bible promises; God is near to the brokenhearted. It also says; Throw your burden on God and he will sustain you. (Psalm 3418 and 55;22) I hope this message will help you cope with the loss of your loved one.
Out, out, brief candle, Wrote Shakespeare. The apostle Paul scribed life is but a vapor. Its a truth that haunches down like a load in the back of your minds. We try to avoid the thought, but its a reality that summons our attentions, stopped all our plans, at times with little or no warning. John 316 shows us of the wonderful hope we have been given.
Janet and i worked together at Almands Drug in Westridge for years until i moved to Fayetteville…. She called me her Bo- Bo and i loved her, she was kind and generous… and made the best Pineapple upside down cake I ever ATE in my life. ( she would make it for my birthday) i can’t believe i’m just finding out about her passing…. Please know that my heart is broken for your family and my prayers are with all of you.
