encouraging conversations, and the generous donations

and our family at his Celebration of Life. We would like to
give a special thanks to the Echo City Hall for allowing us to
use the building. This was very special to Dee because, the
Echo City hall was where Dee and Babe went to a dance
62 years ago on their very first date. We would also like to
thank Dennis and Cathy Barnett for the excellent BBQ,
nobody went away hungry. We also appreciate the assistance
of Ken at Burn’s Mortuary. Ken always seems to make
everything run so smooth. A special thanks to our special

Pastor Gordanier, and Joe Stahl.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
The Rock, Williams and Robbins Family.
May God bless each and everyone of you and your families.
