    What a great man I remember the first time I met him. He was sitting at the dining room table, having his lunch. His wife, Geneva had walked down to Mr. Mike Franklin‘s house during an estate sale. That’s how I met her such a lovely lady. My condolences to this precious family. I pray that God will heal your broken hearts rest in peace. Mr. Parish
