Dad,
I will always remember you! I often think about the times we spent on weekends looking at new cars. Just wishing and looking like to boys in a candy store. Dad you have and always will be my hero. I love you and hope that you are enjoying your time visiting all of the family and your friends that had gone before you and now you are able to spend time with them all. Enjoy your rest. I hope you have found Jesus by now and that he has shown you to the place that He has prepared for you and also your place at the great banquet table. Enjoy all of the sights and sounds of heaven.

Dad...
You will never be forgotten. I will truly miss all the good times we shared. You were always there for me, Danny, and Daniel. You made us smile, laugh, and feel very loved.

You always treated me like I was one of you own children. You were always a kind and gentle man who I have always had a lot of respect for. We had our own special bond that I will never forget!

You gave me my first Gerber daisies. That will always be our special flower between us.

I love you very much and will miss you, BUT I know you will live on in all our hearts.
Love always,
Your Redneck Daughter-in-Law--

Mrs.Singletary
We enjoyed every family gathering that The Pancakes and Singletarys had. He will be missed from this point on. His job now is looking over each and every one of his family members and guiding them in the proper directions. I am sure he will succeed with this job just as all the others. Deepest sympathy to all of you.
Love,
Terry, Sheila, Kelley, & P-Nut
