To: Linda & Family
I was so sorry to hear about Tub. Tub always made me smile anytime I was around him. He is probably making people laugh in heaven now. He was one of my favorite people and I will miss him.
God bless you all and I am thinking about you.
Sincerely,
Dickie
Dear Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers in your time of loss.

Linda, Earl and family, we were sorry to read about Tub Sat evening. If I had known earlier, I would have come to Groce. God made a way for us to see our loved ones again. You’re in our prayers. Ray & Jean.
TO ALL THE FAMILY: OUR PRAYERS ARE
WITH ALL OF YOU DURING THIS TIME OF
SORROW. IT’S SO VERY HARD TO LOSE A LOVED ONE & THAT LOSS CAN ONLY BE
MADE EASIER BY KNOWING THEY’RE IN A
BETTER PLACE. I REMEMBER WAYNE AS
ALWAYS HAVING A SMILE ON HIS FACE &
I’M SURE HE’S SMILING DOWN ON US. MAY GOD BE WITH EACH & EVERY ONE OF
YOU. GAIL & ANGIE PARKER
I will miss seeing ‘Tub’s’ smiling face coming by the vault plant. My prayers are with you.
We hold fond memories in our hearts for Tub. He came into our store at Bucktom many times over the last 10 years. And one thing we will always remember was his pleasant smile and warm spirit. Precious family you will be in our prayers as you go through this difficult time of loss and grief. But look up for Joy Comes in the Morning. We will see him again soon in that beautiful land called Heaven. And if we could see him now we would not want him back for anything. No more pain, no more sorrow he is enjoying peace. And if somehow Tub could send us a telegram from Heaven today it would read something like this I have arrived safely, I’m having a great time and I Wish you were Here. Hurry Home… God bless each of you and We love you….Steve and Elaine
