Aunt Blanche and my big cousin Jr, we are all shocked and saddened by the loss of Uncle LW. My earliest memory of him was playing checkers with him at the pond house - he taught me to play and then always let me win. And he even let me play his guitar! (He was brave!) We were looking forward to asking him and Aunt Blanche to Caroline's first recital in a couple of weeks - he was always so proud and encouraging of my children's music and the kids all thought y'all were so sweet to send them cards and things. Just a couple of weeks ago, we found one of his guitar picks down in some stuff he had given us probably 35 years ago. I was looking forward to giving it back to him. Lots of good memories. Love y'all, and we know God loves you and has a plan for all of you, even if it's hard for us to understand it. May His peace comfort and surround you.

Dear Jr., I am truly sorry and heartbroken for the loss of Mr. L.W. (as I always called him.) I know how close you were to your daddy and what an influence he had on your life. He had an AMAZING personality. He taught you well, and you learned so much from him. Your daddy knocked on our door every two weeks to visit and to see & play with Alyssa. He also left his mark on her, your precious "Tooter-bug". We were all so very blessed to have had him in our lives. He will be greatly missed. R.I.P. "MR. L.W., DADDY, PAPA.
