    I love you Uncle Peanut. I’m so sad you’re not here on this earth anymore. I know you’re up there with my daddy resting easy. Until we meet again.

    My deepest sympathy to the Sneeden family. Praying that you cherish your many fond memories. May the support of family and friends strengthen you. May God's word comfort you as mentioned at Psalm 34:15, "The eyes of God are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their cry for help." May you draw close to God in prayer and know that he is always there to help you carry the burden you bear, Psalms 55:22.

    So sorry to hear about “NUT”. We worked together at B&W and GE. The day the announcement was made to close B&W , He and I left work together and went to unemployment office and submitted an application for GE.Have a lot of great memories over the years, but, the one that’s most important is the talk we had about the Lord. I know he’s in heaven!!! We are praying for peace and comfort for all the family.
