Dear Family; Just want to say to all of you I really love your Mom and Dad (they aren’t gone; they’ve just moved to a new location!) and I love each and every one of you. I’m praying for you all. I’ll always remember the last time I saw your Dad when I went to Church with Ms. Martha a couple of years ago. He was so surprised to see me, and I felt honored to see the joy on his face; that’s a very precious memory. I look forward to seeing your Mom & Dad in Heaven, and I’m counting on seeing EVERY one of you at the Rapture! Love and hugs to you all.
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Stark. Please know that I am praying for all of your family during this difficult time. May God bless and keep you and give you peace.

Smith Family, we’re so sorry for your great loss of Mr. Stark! My dad, Laurie Morris and Mr. Stark seemed to enjoy visiting with one another as they sat side by side during the class reunion get together at CasselShack Restaurant. I heard them mention those long ago school days.
