Thank you Gary! Your prayers are greatly appreciated. The love, support and prayers we have received during this difficult time have given us strength and hope to carry on -- knowing one day we will see Brian again. God bless, my friend, Bob

Ruth (Black) and I praying for you!

Thank you Sam! No parent ever expects their children to die before they do. It's so surreal at times. He fought a hard battle with a drug resistant lung infection for 3 weeks on a ventilator. He now is at peace and in our loving heavenly Father's care - till we meet again.

It's so nice to hear from you Judy. You know what it's like. I am so sorry for your losses. We are just beginning our journey. God is our Compass, but we don't have a road map - taking one day at a time - some are better than others - but your prayers and so many others are being felt. God bless you dear friend.

Thank you Ginnie! Yes, there is a distant memory... :-) A lot of my memories are distant these days...lol Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement. Yes, you would love Ruth. She is such a wonderful person. We are so sorry about your Michael. I can't imagine losing a child at age 21 let alone 40. It all seems so surreal, but as time passes the reality hits hard - with the mixed emotions that come along with it. The prayers of so many are such a comfort and are definitely being answered. Hello to Jon. Love you guys!

Thanks Bob and LaVada for your kind words and prayers! It brings us great comfort knowing so many are praying for us.

Wow!  I worked for Dwayne Canup in the Purchasing Department at Big Sandy, Texas, for several years.  We called him "Chief" because we were a pretty close "tribe."  We were supportive of one another and used to go when some of the Purchasing guys gave their sermonettes in outlying areas.  A lot of the students worked in Purchasing over the years I was there.  

I was also made to feel like a member of his family - being one of the primary babysittters for his two children.  They were so young at the time.  This was 1971-1974.  I spent a lot of time at the Canups' lovely home in Gladewater.

As Barbara Payne mentioned in her post we lived in one of his rental houses in Gladewater after our graduation in 1974.  

When Bob and I got married in 1977, Dwayne and Marilyn had a florist business and did the flowers for our wedding.  

Bob and I have occasionally seen Dwayne over the years at conferences, and it was always good to catch up on each other's lives.  

I know he is still missed by his many friends and his family.  So many memories of many times together!  He was a wonderful boss and continued to be a wonderful friend over the years.  Ruth (Black) Miller

Hello Mary. I don't believe we have ever met. My graduating class is 69. I saw where six graduates live in Pennsylvania - my home state. I see your married name is Golden. We had a neighbor by the name Johnny Golden. This was in a little community called Rosedale, just outside Uniontown - located in the southwest corner of the state. Johnny was a railroad man as I recall and died when I was quite young. When I was 11 or 12 his widow ( I don't recall her name), who was in her 80's, paid me 50 cents a night to stay with her. I think I did this about 5 nights a week and then her daughter would come on the weekends. I had a Daybed in the living room. On Sunday nights we would watch Gary Moore's What's My Line before going to bed. In the mornings I don't recall how long I did this, but her family didn't want her staying alone at night. Just wanted to share that in case your husband may have some distant relatives in that part of the state. Bob Miller
