Guest Book

When we were very young friends, I never called him by his first name! He never called me by my first name. I always called him Poochie and he always called me Smoke Meat! I called him Poochie the last time we were together on October 6, 2019. To his family and friends, I will pray fervently for you as you mourn Poochie's passing. Please keep in mind that you will see him again in heaven. God Bless, Smoke Meat (Ralph B. Williams)
