Dad Got to See Jesus On His 86th Birthday!
These pictures were pulled from a video we did of Dad while he was sharing some family history with us. When he realized we were recording it, he (being Pops) made some silly faces. I love looking at these ... they've been the source of a lot of smiles lately!
This is an unaltered picture of Mom and Dad on their 20th anniversary. (The copy on the main page was adjusted to look more like a water color). We were SO happy we got to go down and see them right after Easter!
The NJ Memorial will be at Olivet Wesleyan on Monday June 13 at 6:30 PM. We invite everyone to stick around after and fellowship and share stories.
Whether or not you can attend, please feel free to share stories and/or comments that I will incorporate into a Multimedia Presentation to be shown at the NJ service and posted on this website. Please send all comments to me at CaptainPB@gmail.com
There was a Memorial Service at Brooksville Wesleyan Church on Wednesday May 11 at 11 AM.
