    Our hearts go out to the Currence/Scouse family today as they lay their Daddy/Grandfather to rest. I remember many family cookouts at the Currence's with Mr. Scouse. The love this family had for him, and he for them, was very evident. May the Lord comfort and strengthen all of you in the days to come. We love you! Faith, Hope, but mostly Love~ Dave and Tracie Hollis
