Silas, Jr., Bryan, and Jason, I am so, so sorry for your loss. You have suffered a year that no one should have to endure. I love y'all dearly and remember to always try to hold on to the good memories. Jamie Peeks-Aldrich

Silas was full of life and love for his family and friends and he touched so many people with his kindness. Some of my favorite memories are the conversations we would have about the Lord and of course he always asked about my family. He loved his Cartersville Purple Hurricanes.
