    My big brother, I will miss knowing your near but, thankful that you are with momma and not hurting anymore.
    Girls please know how sorry I am that you had to let your daddy go, we all know how much you love him. I am so very happy for the times that Dwight and I shared, loved his smile and how his soft heart of loving and giving never failed anyone. Like helping momma buy our first Christmas. The first song I remember singing was with him…. Carri Ann.
    Hope God is letting him hunt and fish
    Love you, Hugs and kisses. Till I see you again. Love your little sister, Rita Mae
