Nicholas, we know you and your papaw were very special to
each other and his love and support for you is a big part of the
compassionate and accomplished man you became. Vicki,
Mark and I both know how hard is is to lose a father. Juanita,
68 years is an amazing marriage! Wish we could be there for
the service, but know that you are all in our hearts.
