Ruby and family,
Our prayers and love are with you..H left us laughing the last
time we were with him..That’s the memory I will keep..Love to all of you!
HJ always was a bright light to us all, being in the family for over 27 years. He always wanted to know when I was coming to visit him and Ruby. I asked him the same question and informed him, "that road runs bothways". Always had a big hug and kind words. He will be missed.
I was saddened to learn of his passing this morning. Unfortunately, Rebecca and I will not be able to make it to Texas for the funeral. Our thoughts will definitely be with the family during this trying time.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Chris and Rebecca Power
