A lot of wonderful childhood memories are of my "Uncle Tenner" and Aunt Helen and my cousins, Frances, Steve, Brenda, and Judy. Many happy days of laughter and activities all centered around just simply being together and enjoying each other. Sonny and I also have some great memories of him when he later moved to Brunswick-just a lot of time centered around frying fish or a cookout of some kind. We pray for comfort and peace to surround his family and for tears of sadness to turn Into tears of joy when we remember all the good times together. May the Lord be with you now and in the days ahead.
