downs.

time for you but remember that God will

To Ginger and The Boys. I send my sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm sure words cannot explain how you feel or what you are going through. My sister and I remember Hymon coming over to our dad, Paul Juarez's house. Hymon would be driving the big red van. He would sit in the van and talk to Uncle Kevin, Harvey, Phil, and dad. They would always be joking around and listening to the music. I sure miss those days. I'm sure your dad is not alone. He has our dad, right there by his side. Please know that your husband and dad will always be with you. May God Bless you all. Love Pauly's daughter, Alicia

Just know that Hamilton is not alone he is with my Father and other Family Members that have already begun the next Journey of their lives. I will Keep You In My Thoughts and Prays.

Ginger and boys: My wife and I are very sorry for your loss.Billy and Me worked at Adams for 27+ years.We were co union reps in the bindery and would tag team when we would go into a meeting, we always seemed to know what each other were thinking.He could always tell stories that would bring a smile to your face.We could always talk for hours about wrestling and Drag racing.
I will never forget when I asked Him to be my best man at our wedding, he was so honored and happy to be in our wedding.
We loved him and he will be greatly missed by all of us. May the spirit of Jesus lift you up and comfort you, and let you know that Hamilton is in Heaven.His spirit will always be in our hearts forever. Ken & Linda Hammond & family.

Ginger ,
Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same. Hymon was definitely one of those people! We will miss his genuine smile, boisterous laugh and hilarious stories, but we are so blessed to have known him for the time we did. The memory of Hymon will always be in our hearts.

Ginger we are praying that your heart and soul will find peace and comfort. One of the most admirable things about Hymon was how he treated you- with the utmost respect! There is no doubt that he loved his wife and he will continue to "watch over you".

Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do for you. We love you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Shelley Perkins

Bill i thank you for sharing the past 24 years of your life with me and the family. I looked up to you like I did my own dad, and since he's been gone I thank you again for stepping in when I needed that father figure. You and Ginger have been there for a lot of things with us and have been wonderful! I love you so much and will miss you greatly. Cashe' still talks about going bowling with you so I tell him I'll take him and you will watch him! :)
Love You! Shelley, Cashe' & JaLayah

Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every family member of Hamilton in this most difficult time. Hamilton once told us not to be sitting around boo-whooing, well buddie I blew that the first day. We just want you all to know that Hamilton was much more than a friend to us he was part of our family, one that our children often looked up too. Ginger and myself often joked around about how much money we could make showing the black version of The Grumpier Old Men staring Hamilton and Jeff as the main characters, we now have lots of stories to share and to treasure for the rest of our lifes. We thank you Hamilton for all of the good times.

Love,

The Dilliehunt's
