  5. Donna I’m so sorry for the passing of your Dad. Odell was a good man who always treated me good after I moved into the neighborhood, he was good to both my boys when they would ride four-wheelers past his house, I will miss seeing him ride past the house slowly in his car checking things out along our road. You and your family will be in my prayers.

    • I always enjoyed talking to Odell and keeping up with Dwayne and Donna. He put up with a lot of mine and Dwayne’s shenanigans growing up together. We played many years of baseball (little league thru high school) and I remember Odell was always at our games and one of our biggest supporters. He was a great member of the community and will be missed.
      Prayers for you Donna.

  13. Donna, Shad and Jake, Charles and I hated to hear of your dad’s passing. My Mother and Daddy thought a lot of your mom and dad. Sybil was one of mother’s best friends. She was always talking about her and worked with her at Ithaca. I know how you feel, when Daddy was leaving us, we knew the good Lord was taking him home to be with Mother and to be with him. We watched him slipping away for Almost 3 months. The only comfort we had was he was ready and wanted to go. Our prayers are with you during this transition for peace and understanding and rely on your memories, because that’s what has helped me. Hugs, Tricia and Charles
