Beverly, I'm so sorry for your loss of Earl. He was a wonderful man and one of my favorite customers at the pharmacy. He always had a smile on his face and always spoke to me whenever he came in the store. I always thought it was so sweet of him to run errands for Violet and for Jean ( after Slown passed)..... I'm sure they kept him on his toes ! Prayers for comfort and peace for you and your entire family ...... I know he will be missed, but Heaven has gained a faithful servant for sure !
