Guestbook

  1. Tammy,Randy,Robyn & Doug, We are so sorry for your loss. It is really tough when we loose a loved one so quickly. Our love & prayers are with you and your families. God will comfort you all through these difficult days.

  2. We were neighbors in Millington, Tenessee and Faye and I used to play cards with Reggie and Carole.We really enjoyed our time together. We were both on the Oriskany. And, of course, we lost touch with each other. Reggie got out of the Navy but we had too many children to leave. Until the internet, I couldn’t locate Reggie or almost two dozen relatives lost when my parents divorced. It’s nice to know what he did after the Navy.
