A good man. He will be missed. RIP.
I have tried to stay away from posting stories about the South since they are just rehashes of the same events day after day. I am posting it here because it is more personal than the others.
I’m sorry for your lost. Was he a friend, in-law, relative? Prayers for the departed and for peace and justice in the land of my birth.
