I worked with Junior way back in the early 60's, at Burlington Mills in Radford. His kindness and sincerity left an impression on me. I pray that God will bless each of you, and give you comfort in the days ahead.

Sheena, I am so sorry to hear about your Paw Paw. He is not really gone because he will always be with you in the wonderful memories you shared. Foods, sounds, photos, objects, family gatherings .... there will always be rememberances of him. I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger it becomes. God bless you and your family in this difficult time.
