Lot of good memories I have of all of you .My prayers are with all the family and friends.
Thank you Dennis. We do have a lot of good memories. Dewey Ray had many health problems, but his bladder cancer came back in all fury and mastized into his hip and quickly took his life. One special thing happened at the hospital. He told Troy Dean that Wayne came to him in a dream and told him he needed to get right with the Lord b/c his time was short on earth. So Dean had prayer with him and he got things right with God. That is amazing b/c Wayne passed away in 2003. There is only me and Dean now. Charlie and I live in Arkansas near our son and Grands.
and Dean lives in Lenoir NC. I hope you and your family are doing great. God bless you all. Charlie and Linda Kerley Lyttle.
