O.W. (Rat) will be greatly missed. I can still see him and Horace Moore after the birds!
Beverly, Peyton, Susan and Bruce,
Anne and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. O.W. was always one of my heroes, and I will miss him dearly. In the last few years that I would visit Beverly and him, the simple "thumbs up" that he would give me, acknowledging that he approved of our mission, meant more to me than any other encouragement. Please know we are praying for all of you.
Blessings,
Horace
Beverly, Peyton, Bruce and Susan
