My deepest sympathies and prayers to you and your families Ruth Ann.
Ruth Ann, Melvin, Coni, Curt & all your families, We are so sorry for the loss of Uncle Cotton, we know he is in a better place now and will be with your Mom, so we know he is happy now. I always got a kick out of him when deer season was in & he would hint around for deer chili, and if I had the meat I would go home and fix him some and take it to him, & he loved to talk when we took his mail in to him, so I will really miss him. It sure is hard to lose the ones we love, I tell myself that their in an better place and aren't hurting anymore. We have lost an lot of loved ones over the years and it never gets any easier for any of us. We have an lot of memories that will help get you through the sad times. Our hearts go out to all of you, Love Sandy
Smith Family;
I am sorry for your lose. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
