You were more than a brother-in -law. You were our brother. I will always hold dear to my heart all the fun trips you Bea and I took over alll the years. The fun trips with taking mother and daddy to Florida and other places. You were always sweet to them and what ever place they wanted to stop you never fussed you just stopped and let them enjoy themselves. I thank you again for all the morning you cooked breakfast for mother and helping Bea and I get her up each morning never a complaint. I thank you for all the times I would calls late at night when I would blow a fuse and too scared to go out side. You and Bea would come right over. I will missed you very much, but I am thankful you are not in any more pain and I promise you one thing that Bea will be taken care and treated with respect and love. Rest in Peace Your Sister Connie
