Mr. and Mrs. Dorton,

May GOD help the famly find solace at this time as only he can; and may your son's memories dwell in your hearts forever, as I am sure they will. Thinking about you, Mr. and Mrs. Dorton.

Eulas, I remember meeting you few years ago at St. Bernard
Hospital. Rick was in hospital at that time and I was employed there. He was having lung problems due to working so much under the big trucks, if I remember correctly.
I am Whitner (T. W. )Dorton's daughter, Wilma Fisher. I can recall your name being mentioned by my Dad. Dad has been gone since 2008. It does seem like I saw you at either his visitation or Virgil's (Cub), but I may not be correct on that.
If Rick has had difficulty all these years he put up a good fight. My prayers are with you and your wife....loosing a child is not easy I lost a daughter...My phone no. is 243-3350 if any family questions i might be able to answer. Prayers
