To Barbara my sister:
How heartbroken we all are right now that Junior is not here, but we know where he is don’t we? My prayer is that God will give you an inner peace that no person can do for you. I will be here for you forever and I love you greatly. My fondest memory of Junior is when I lived in Tennessee and bought him Hank Williams Jr. for Christmas. He loved you very much and you were blessed to have such a wonderful partner and friend. We will have to look to God now for strength. I love you.. Raynae
Dear Barbara & Family
I worked with JR for 5 years At Utah Mountain Properties, LLC I’m shocked and saddened by your loss. JR was a wonderful man and so very proud of his family! May God be with you. I appologize for not knowing sooner. Sherri Hudson
I got to know JR over the years while working as his banker. We always had the best time chatting. Even after his business was done, he would stay and talk and became one of my favorite customers. He will really be missed, and his family is in my prayers. He is with God now, and I pray that God will give his loved ones the strength to bear this sorrow.
Sunday evening Heaven got sweeter,a kinder man I’ve never known, we are sorry for your loss ,though it be great, but we are rejoicing for Heavens gain . It’s only goodnight here but good morning there –forever more– we love you, you are in our prayers
Barbara and Family, our hearts reach out to you due to loss of a great husband, father, and grandfather. He will be greatly missed, but he won’t be missed in Heaven. The life he live spoke and shown what a commited christian that JR was. I know that your heart aches for him, but God needed to take him home early. There is a purpose in all that happens, even in death. We love you all and you are in our prayer. Please let us know if there is anything you need or we can do. God bless you all.
We are sorry for your family’s loss. JR will be missed greatly by a lot of people. He was the type person everyone liked and enjoyed being around. Our prayers and thoughts are with each one of you during this time.
There is not words that could convey the sympathy and loss we feel. Jr just visited us in Febuary and had spoken about singing and playing piano. My Dad was great friends with Jr and is grieving for his loss. But, Jr is in Heaven today, something that we hope for. Death may steal the body, but his soul rests with Jesus. And we know that the Holy Spirit will provide the comfort needed.

Our deepest thoughts go out for all of you on this day and the days ahead. I am not gonna be like most people do when they tell you it will get easier because the lost of my husband, Donald, for I do rely on Jesus to get me through many days and many nights. The loss never seems to get any easier. I am for sure on one thing though, Jr and Donald are having a great time now. Donald thought there was no friend like Jr. I really miss you all at church. I could sit for hours and listen to Barbara sing, because she has a voice like no other. State Street has not been the same since all of you left!! Our prayers are with you in the coming days. Just always lean on Jesus because he will never let you down. Trust me! I know!
