J.D., you will be sorely missed, I have known you and Lillian since the days I used to work at Plymouth Citrus. You always greeted everyone with a smile, a hug, a kind word. Our PCPC Lunch Bunch will definitely miss you. We will miss your blessing before we dug in. Thank you for being such a good person.

Aunt Lillian I want to let you know how sad I am I can't be there for you. Just know that I will be there in spirit and in prayer. You know how much I loved "my" Uncle J.D. and he knew how much he meant to me. The world has lost a great man and Heaven has gained a sweet Angel. Rest in peace sweet man. I am going to share some pictures that mean a lot to me. God Bless you Aunt Lillian. I love you.
