I am sorry to hear about the passing of your brother, Dewell. Frank, I hope and pray that you and your family will have peace and healing within the near future. You were like a father to me and your loss has filled me with sorrow. Please know that I’m praying for you and Judy.
I am so sorry to learn of Mr. Shirleys passing, especially so soon after Mrs. Shirley passed. I started carrying his mail when he lived up on Billy Goat Mountain and then again when lived on Melissa Lane. I am really going to miss him, he was always so nice and took time to visit with me when I brought his medicine. My prayers go out to his family and I’ll think of him every time that I pass Stanfill Cemetery.
