    So very sorry to hear of your loss. He was so hard working, always smiling and would talk to you and was very helpful with repair work. He will be truly missed. Mrs. Strickland, we also love you. You are kind and helpful and helped keep Mr. Strickland so much in his shop. You were his strength and rock.

    We are moving Cheyenne to college this weekend or we’d come and pay our respects. He will be dearly missed.

    Our condolences to Frances and all the family. I found the stories Frances shared about her Daddy to be quite entertaining. God bless.
