Vestal, Little Dennis, & Melissa,
I can still hear his deep voice in my head! What a sweet man! I love the pic in the pink dress, remember the big catfish picture. He held it next to Emily and it was bigger than her! And I remember us cracking up at him sleeping in that chair at the lake. It had been a hard day of fishing! We will miss him!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know you will miss him dearly!!
