The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. David Hollis, Dr. John Baron and Amedisys Hospice for the exceptional care they provided for our daddy. You are true angels on earth!
Daddy will be greatly missed by so many, but we take comfort in knowing he is in Heaven and we will be reunited with him again someday. It was our honor and privilege to be your daughters and we are truly blessed to have had you as our father and mom as our mother.
Fly high daddy and rest in peace! We will see you again someday!
