David,Barbara,Rodney and Chuck. Dorothy and Ray are a part of the Christian woman I am today. They were so loved down here in this end of Va. We have missed them. There is a little of them in each one of you. Thanks for sharing them with us. They were a joy to be around and we did have some very good times together, a lot of good laughs and some tears. God did a good job when He made those two. Mom and Dad sure loved them a lot. She will be missed. Brenda and J.C.
Dave, Patti and I could not make the services today. We are sorry for your lost. You had a great mom. Marshall
