My deepest sympathies to Rachel and Jared on the loss of their dad. My sympathies, as well, to all the Knight family. When I first met his sister, Wilma, who became my wife, he was only 7 years old. I have wonderful memories of him growing up. He had a great outgoing personality, was a good athlete, and had a great sense of humor. I will greatly miss him. - Tom Montgomery

Jay, I will always remember those fun-filled days of our childhood, exploring Glenmoore, the Sheep Hole, Flat Rock and playing music in your room...the best of times. It is always sad when someone leaves so early, but know that we will me again someday. I will pray for your family and trust that they find peace and healing as times goes by. We will all miss you. Your cus, Marlin
