I love you so much papa. You are and always will be my hero. I miss you greatly, but I'm glad you're no longer in pain. I'll make sure I always catch the biggest fish (maybe send me a little better luck with that.) I think about you every day. I love and miss you.

To Javada & Family: Many, many memories… and one that we will not likely ever forget was putting together a sand box with Fred. I remember when Brent Robert was born and then Jonna, who was named after me except with a "J". He will be missed! Love, Aunt Donna
Dear Jonna, Lainey, and family, Ronald and I are praying for you!!! May you feel God's strong, loving arms wrapped around you today and in the days to come. We love you very much!!!!!!!
Uncle Ben, thank you for all the wonderful memories growing up and the wonderful times we spent at the hunting lease. Memories that I and Donna and our kids will never forget. You will always be in my heart and please know I will always be there for Aunt Javada and the kids. Love you Ray
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Pastor Terry and Darla Clayton First Church of God Paul's Valley, OK
