My sincere condolences to the family, Pap and Carolyn is my classmates who I love so dearly. Carolyn my heart is broken for u cause i seen u and him from the beginning. Pap and I use to sit along side the road in James city in our work trucks and talk almost every week or just yell at each other out the window. I'm truly gonna miss our conversations, RIP my brother.
It is hard to believe he is gone, but he will never be forgotten. He was one of the hardest working men I knew. He would drive for me when I had to preach long distance, and he kept us laughing all the way there and back. Carolyn we are truly praying for you and the family through this difficult time. Pap was truly a good Samaritan, and would help whoever he could. RIP my Brother
RIP CUZ Jane and Family.
