  1. We are so very sorry for your loss and can just imagine the pain your loving and devoted hearts are feeling! The holidays tend to make times like these even more difficult, if that is even possible, but we pray you find comfort and strength in the love and concern we all feel for you!!! Jennifer, I remember staying at the beautiful home, your daddy built, when we would visit from Michigan. You were truly the apple of his eye and he treasured you – his beautiful little girl!!!! He got such a kick out of teasing me about my ‘northern accent’ and the way I’d say “you guys” instead of “y’all”. Dennis and I pray you’ll enjoy the priceless memories you have of your daddy!!! We love you, Turner and Grace so very much and would do anything within our power to help your hearts heal!!!!! We won’t be able to come down for his service but, we will be there in spirit and will hold you all close in our hearts, thoughts and prayers!!! Sending huge hugs and love!!!!
