Not sure what to say?





Bryan and family,

So sorry to hear of Bryan's death. Even though we were not close, we had been very close many years ago. I am Bryan's first cousin. My Mother was Bryan's dad's sister. When I was six or seven years old or around that I lived with Bryan Edward and Arthur. I also did not know that Arthur had died. My special symphathy is also extended to Martha Jo.

Kathy, Bryan, Karen and Sallie,
I loved your Dad. The years I spent with your family he was always giving, kind and always had a smile. He made sure that I felt like I belong around your family. In 30 years I never did heard him raise his voice or get mad. It takes him leaving this earth for us to acknowledge that he had a humble, kind, loving and giving soul. May the Good Lord bless you today, tomorrow and forever in the loss of your Dad.
With love,
