I remember having many great memories over the years with all of you. I know Denver loved fishing as I went to Harpers Ferry fishing with Denver ,Wilma , Frank and maybe Sis, way back in 1974 or so. We caught catfish until we knew we had enough to fill a big cooler with cleaned fish. Usually it took 4 hours of skinning catfish to accomplish tbis.
I remember many days of playing music in local churches with Bob, Diane , and Debby.
Many great memories but time has run out . I cherish each one as I get older.
God bless each of you in this time of sorrow. May He be your rock!
Mike, So sorry to hear about your Dad. Lisa and I will keep your family in our prayers during this difficult time. Hold on tight to all the memories.
