Absent from the body & present with the Lord. Corinthians 5:8.... I can remember when Dad gave me & my sister Melanie, our first puppy dog. His name was Button. We were thrilled. I often think about the time, Dad cooking hot grits on the stove. He would dance side to side happily. Dad used to take me to his friends Linda and Bubba's house. I would often play with my friend Tuchie, who is now deceased. I remember the time Dad and Sandra came to see me in the hospital, when i had appendicitis. The 2 most memorable moments were, toward the end of Dad'd life, when I came back from my journey of Asia. Dad and Sandra treated me to dinner @ Apple-Bee's. We had a ball; and took photos. Lastly, my college graduation, where he and Sandra attended my commencement & after graduation party. Dad also met his grand-sons Michael andAlex for the first time. Everyone was elated. Dad, I never gave up on you! You will always be my Dad...... I love you! May your soul rest in paradise!

To William's Family and friends. Billy as we called, William was my best friend growing up in Alabama. We did everything together, even shopped and dressed alike. Billy had the greatest sense of humor as he kelp us all in tears. Today as I remember Billy, it's all about the best years of our youth. May each of you also remember your best times with William. May you also be comforted always and with lasting peace.
