Brother Polk's broad smile is what I will miss. Oh and his banana pudding and soup! What a good servant of the Lord he was.

Dear Kay and Dan Bandy, I didn`t know your Grand-Dad, but I met him when our Church sang Christmas carols to him this past Christmas. I`m blessed that you let us spend that time with him. You have my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. YSIC, Brenda Burkentine
