A large lump gathered in my throat when i read of Docks' passing. I grew up around so many of those who have been lost. It's just hard to believe how fast life passes before us. I love you Ruth! I loved Dock too! Thoughts and Prayers.

My Dear Ruth, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I am here at the office and saw a funeral procession pass by. I didn't know who the family was until I logged on to the website of Evans. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved your husband. May God Bless You and all your family. I am praying for you.
With love,
