Skeeter did alot to help our church out at Zion Moselem Lutheran Church
I will forever remember Skeeter helping me out with our Pig Roast Fundraiser at church. His kindness to REALLY help me out during a tough time during the Pig Roast was priceless!! He stepped up to the plate and never looked back. He will be missed greatly to all those who knew and were touched by him. Rhonda Wallace

A dear friend we will miss always
Skeeter quickly became a dear friend. He was caring and kind and generous and became part of the family at Zion Moselem Church soon after his first visit. He had a hunger for God's Word. We loved having him as part of our Bible Study Group. Knowing that we were trying to raise funds for a charity, he immediatly offered help .and stayed up all night to roast a pig. Skeeter made everyone feel special. I will miss him so much, but know that he is now healthy and happy in the arms of our Lord.
