To my cousins, Beverly, Cheryl, Bernard & Betty and their families, on the loss of your Father, Father-in-Law, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle David was a loving, kind, sweet and beautiful man who always had a joke and funny story to tell, and he always gave the best hugs!!! I have such wonderful childhood memories of times spent playing at his house when we came over to visit. I will ever be grateful for the time I spent with him just a few short weeks ago. We had a wonderful visit and I will ever cherish that time spent with him! I am so blessed to have had the chance to tell Uncle David how much I loved him, and to receive one of those wonderful hugs from him before I left to come back home to Mississippi. I know he is happy to be reunited for eternity with the love of his life, his sweet Ruby, whom he had missed oh so much. Burk and I send our love to each of you! - Posted by: Colleen Dickens (Niece) on: Dec 03, 2016
