Hello, Christine, I am sending my condolences on the passing of your husband. My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. I regret not be able to attend, I am not able to get around at the time. You pray for me and certainly you are in my prayers. Know that all things work together for the good, keep the faith I pray your strength in the Lord.

Uncle John "H" You were always a joy to be around. That smile that is so well captured in your picture so expresses your heart. Main still talks about Tee's wedding that you two bartended. He had so much fun working with you as neither one of you were drinkers and had to figure out and sometimes come up with your own recipes for the drinks ordered. He really does still laugh about it. We thank God for having you as an uncle you had such a meek spirit. I know that heaven is rejoicing at your homegoing.
To my Aunt Chris and cousins, I pray that God will comfort you all as only He can. Know that we love you and continue to pray God's peace and comfort. And remember "Precous in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints". Psalms 116:15
Love you Carolyn, Main and family
