My heart truly hurt when I just now saw this post... It saddens me that I didn't know in time to come and honor his life. I have know Mr. Guest for 40 years, he lived next door to my granny(Bessie Cherry) for a while and I was only about 7 around then. He also sang some with my dad (Doug Cherry) and some of his children were my friends. Every time I saw him it was like we just spoke a few days ago... he was a kind man, creative, helpful and caring. His presence here on earth will truly be missed. My condolences to all of his family, you have my prayers.

My heart goes out to the family.

Bryn was a kind man an a good friend. So sorry for your loss may God bless your family. Sarah
