To everyone who has read and/or signed this book.

My Mom was a great lady. Loved by all. But if the Lord opened the door and said she could come back if she wanted to....Momma would say NO. She is where she has wanted to be. She has always said that if not with my Dad, then the Lord. I miss her each and every day, but I rejoice in her joining the Lord. We all will miss her.

Thanks for everything everyone has done. Take care of my Dad.

Shirley was a dear friend of ours from Faith Baptist Church years ago. We had lost recent touch with her and Al and are so saddened by her passing. But, we know that she is present with Our Lord and even though we grieve for our loss, we know she's just fine. We love you, Al. God bless.
