Shirley and family: So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Mama and all of us thought the world of your Dad (and of your Mom). He will be missed. Berlean and I would have attended the funeral if we had known of his death. We only found out last night (Tuesday). May the many memories of years past help with your grief at this time. In sympathy, Dessie and Berlean
