Aunt Rose so sorry to hear about uncle jt. My heart goes out to you Ted, Ricky and Tonya and the rest of the family. I am praying for all of you. He was a good man.

I sure am going to miss Mr J.T. I loved talking with him. There was no guessing on how he felt about things. He said it like he thought it. He sure made me laugh. He was a father figure to Kayleigh & I appreciate that so much. I bet he's got a lot to say to Kevin right now. I hope those two are behaving in heaven. :-) I'm praying for you Rose, Kayleigh, Casey, Georgia, Rick, Ted, Tonya & everyone in the family. I thought the world of him &
loved him. God rest his soul!
