Two good friends that have passed on to a better place. I hope to get there to be with them once again. One will show me all the good fishing holes and the other will show me all the good golf courses. None of us really cared about streets of gold so the great outdoors is where they are waiting for me at. You know I think Jesus can arrange cabins and boats on the lake and carts on the course just as well as mansions and streets of gold. Have a great time up there Melvin and Billy. Tell Jesus hello for me while you are worshiping and praising God.
Everyone please say a prayer for the Croaker and Hardin families, these were two great guys and will always be missed. Billy has been gone over two years now and Melvin just a week. Presiding over their funerals was hard but an honor and a blessing that I will always be thankful for.
Gotta go for now, I think I hear sermon preparation calling me, well almost, it was just Jane telling me to get busy.

I look at these pictures, and I find it so difficult to believe that these two men were younger than I ( Misty, Brandon. included) am now. And Just seeing these old pics makes me feel like I’m 10 again. Melvin was a part of my early childhood, and Billy played a big part of my growing up. I feel pretty fortunate, because I got to live in a little piece of both of those guys world. Thanks for the post, Randy.
