Tributes & Memories

I will always remember, Mr. Dunbar ( this was what I called him back then). My husband and I were so blessed to have known him, he helped with the adoption of our two girls. After 56 years, I would have known his name. Why that name as so in graved in my mind as helping us with the adoption. Thanks to him thanks to him thanks to him. He made my life and family so complete. My prayers are with you and your family. God bless to all.
