Mark, Pam, Larry & Ruth, You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. We are sorry that we could not be there with you, but WeWa's health does not permit long trips. Snookie was a great brother and we always enjoyed his visits home to Virginia. He will forever live in our hearts and we will never forget him. Love, WeWa & Linda

Mark, Pam, Larry & Ruth, we were so sorry for your loss. Uncle Snookie might have moved from Virginia, but he was always in our hearts and we always looked forward to his visits Home. He was always the same and never changed over the years. I can't think of anyone who loved his family more. We will miss him, but will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Love you all. Mike & Melinda Brantley Coleman

I am so sorry for your loss. Snookie was always a great friend to our family. He was a good man and I remember fondly all the times we play cards and uno and having him over to Mom & Dad's house at Christmas time. I am really sorry that I won't be able to make the funeral but my thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Sylvia Bailey Richard Hicks
