I will forever remember the time Willie took Charles Ray and me deer hunting, although we did not bag the big buck that day we had a wonderful time. The times I spent at the Feather home are very special to me and I will never forget the wonderful times we had growing up together. God bless you every one. Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. We love you all dear family.
