Our dear Uncle Jennings went to be with the Lord earlier this week. 
Uncle Jennings was always so gentle, sweet, thoughtful, and compassionate. He would do anything for you! We have loved living closer to him the past 14 years. He was so good about dropping in to visit us when he was out our way or even going out of his way to come by. We always loved to listen to his stories - he could make anything funny!
In memory, we wanted to share some of our favorite pictures of this very special man.

He was such a kind and caring man. Mama says he was always a wonderful big brother.
