My thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your father. Several times I brought your father's relative, Alyce Jeter from De Queen to Little Rock to stay with your parents. I always enjoyed visiting with them and learning about their family.May God rejoice that your Father has been reunited with your Mother and Miss Alyce and other family members.

Ann and Caren, I was so sorry to hear the Mr. Humphrey had passed on. We have such good memories of he and your mom and our family. He was always so quiet, and yet when we think of Ms. Ethel and Gladys, he had to be, didn't he.
May God bless you both with His peace and comfort and Know that Heaven is rejoicing as he is once re-united with Ms. Ethel and my mom.
