Kathy, Paula, Judy and family,
I have known, and loved your family for many, many years. Some of my fondest memories took place in the living room of Dude and Wanda's house on High School Dr. watching Dolly and Porter on the Opry, while they sang along. Your Dad lived a long and full life, shared and received an abundance of love from those around him, had the wealth of a loving family and a pride in his girls that was apparent to all. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Blessings and much love to all in the days to come.

Kathy, Paula and Judy,
I have known and loved your family well for many, many years. Some of my fondest memories are those of Wanda and Dude sitting on the living room sofa, listening (and singing along) to Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton on Grand Ole Opry. I grieve for you and with you. He lived a long and happy life and no doubt he loved and was very proud of all his girls. Many blessings to your family in this time of loss.
