• Mr. Hicks will be miss by all of his friends. Especially all of the members of Oak Grove church, where he was a faithful member until his health would no longer aloud him to attend church. But his heart was always there. He was a good friend of the Montgomery and Adams family. We will miss you, but God said that it was time for you to take a rest.
