Love you all, Thelma

Family, you have my deepest sympathy of the passing of Uncle Duck. He was always so happy! I have many fond memories of our times together. He will always be in our hearts! Much Love
My deepest condolences to the entire Sales family. I pray the Lord will bring you the peace and comfort that you need to get through this and the courage to face the days ahead. I know the loving memories you have will be cherished forever.
Amber and Matt,
So sorry about the passing of your Dad. I only had the chance to meet him one time but I could tell he was a Godly man.
Even thought there is sadness in his passing, the blessing is that he is with his Lord and Savior. I know that you all will miss his fellowship, but one day you will all be reunited in a much better place.
I will be praying for all of you !!
Darlene and family,
My heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of Duck. I have many great memories of him from our childhood days. May God grant you peace as you face the days ahead.

Darlene so sorry for your loss. My brother Wayne Meadows worked
with Duck at Hollingsworth and have very fond memories of their
time as coworkers. God bless you and your family.
DI arlene and family: I am so sorry to hear that Duck had passed away. Susan and I were in Virginia to a funeral service for her uncle. We just got home and was looking for the local obituary list in the Greenville News and saw Donald’s name listed. I am very sorry that I was unable to visit with you and the family for his service earlier today. Again I am very sorry for his passing. Please accept our condolances and let me know if we can be of any help at any time. Very sincerely , Jimmy and Susan Smith.
