Scott and Vickie, I was so saddened when Eddie-Wayne called me and told me about Punkin. I want you both to know your dad was a very special man. I have been in your shoes only 4 years ago and this will be one of the hardest trials you will go through in your life. But know God has His plans even if we don’t understand them, we have to trust Him. I hope you take comfort in knowing everyone that came in contact with your dad loved him. Daddy’s are special to us and you were both special to him, he loved you both.
Eddie-Wayne and Tasha he loved both of you so very much. Whenever I saw him he would talk about both of you.
