    Oh, I have just read this obit, tonight. I am so sad to hear this, but happy that Brother A.J. and Sister Beverly are together again. Heaven is sweeter because they are there…I loved this couple! Had I known in time, I would have gone to the funeral. prayers for peace and comfort for the family.

    I was so sad to hear about this. If I would have known when the funeral was I would have come to it. A. J. was a great boss.
