The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Community Medical Hospice House, First Baptist Church of Kennedale, Brian and Pam Eason, Emerald Hills Funeral Home, and all our family and friends. Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.
