Joyce , Linda, and Family,
Truett was and always will be such a sweet precious man to our family. I think of all the joy he gave to everyone he met. Jesus, Aunt Reba, Uncle Cart, my parents , Charles , and so many others welcomed
him home @ the gates of Heaven. Please know we wish we could be with you all today. You are in our prayers and we love you dearly. Georgia Ann Barron Merritt and Rickey Merritt.
As your son, I could not have a better father. With all the valleys and mountains we went through, I would not trade them for anything. All though we were separated by distance, my love for you was always with you. I was bless to be able to speak with you before your passing. As I ended our talk that morning, “I will see ya when I see you and I will always love you”. You are in a place where there is no sickness and pain, but fill with joy and love with Jesus. May everyone who has known you be bless by your life and the family be bless . With eternal love, your son, Don.
Joyce Im so sorry you lost him physically, however, you will carry him in your heart forever. May God’s grace and peace be with you. I did let our classmates know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. MaryHelyn ,an old friend and classmate.
