    Lisa and Dora, I was very sad to hear about your daddy, but at the same time my heart rejoiced. He is no longer in pain or suffering and is with the woman he loved and the Lord he worshiped. What a glorious place to be if not with his kids and grandkids. Im going to miss him. He was such a character and always made me laugh. I loved him dearly. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will be with you all at this sad time and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I love you all, Ellen "hooty" Rhodes
