So sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one, Grover. I am certain that he will be truly missed. May you find comfort in the many memories you were privileged to share; and may you also find comfort in the words recorded at 2Corinthians 1:3, 4: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation." How reassuring it is to know that our Heavenly Father will be right here to comfort you through this most difficult time. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many.
Sincerely, Debbie

Although Grover spent alot of time at home in Dinwiddie he will be missed. "Grover" when you "Get to where your're going" please tell your daughter and still my lovely wife how much I miss her smiles, laughter and companionship. Loosing a wife and best friend is really sad. Your son-in-law "bubba"
