Mary & McCoy Families!
I'm glad that "Doodle's" sufferings are now over and he is now in his Eternal Home with the One he loved and served so faithfully through the years of his life. I well remember the evening I shared Christ with him and he personally accepted Crist as his Savior. This was during his early teen years. He will always be remembered as a great servant of God. God richly bless each of you and may you find His grace to be sufficient in coming days.
