Beth and family we are so sorry for your lose. We loved Demp and his Feagin craziness much. We didn’t see you very often but just know that we love all of you.

So sorry to hear of “Demp’s” death. The resemblance between him and Johnny is amazing. The two of them are probably catching up on things now (just human reasoning). I know that he will be missed by so many friends and family. Prayers for the family as you mourn your loss but be comforted in the fact that one day you all will be reunited. Treasure your memories.
A great friend and brother in Christ.
Ron & Andre, so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He will be sorely missed.
Andre, Ron and families, we are so sorry to hear about your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you during this time.
