Gaye and Davo. So sorry for your loss. Some of my fondest memories were with Mary, David, Aunt Bloomie, Uncle JB, and Maw Maw as they would take Danny, Davo, you and me fishing at Long Lake as often as possible. We would climb the tree at Swanson Hill to get the Godiva worms and fished, hiked and just be outside all day. I remember Mary and David’s cabin was located near an artesian water well that flowed into the lake. It had such a awful smell and taste. Love, Ricky   ÂÂ
“Tho she be but little, she is fierce!”- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer’s Night Dream.
You taught me so much in life, and I will forever miss our talks. I love you, but I am glad the suffering is no more for you. Being on this Earth was for my own selfish reasons, but God wanted you home. Tell my PaPa I love him and miss him!
sorry for your loss. May God hold her in his arms and help you with your loss. You are in my prayers at this time of need.
David and Gaye I am so so sorry for your loss. May God grant you peace during this difficult time. Prayers for you and your familyÂÂ
To the family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss of your loved one. As you cope with your loss, may you find comfort in knowing that God promises to put an end to all the things that have plagued mankind for centuries including pain and death (Revelation 21:3,4). May these promises from God’s word, the Bible give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.
