    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
