Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Thank you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

Judy and Family, we were so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I’m sure Greg was there to meet AJ at the gates of Heaven. Love You All
I’m so sorry for you about A.J..’s home going. I’m so glad for him, he is in the presence of the Lord. What a glorious fact! We will miss A.J. at Carrollton Dance. He was a welcome addition on many dance floors. You are so blessed to have had him for so many years.
Terri, David, Wade, Toney, Kyle & ALL the Family,
AJ will be missed. AJ’s smile and personality the trademark he left it with everyone he met. I am sure the reunion with Polly is a Grand Celebration. If there is a Coffee Shop in Heaven that is where AJ will meet up with Old Friends. May God’s Angels be a comfort to you all at this time.
Love You All,
Tony & Melony Pennington
