My family’s sympathy goes out to the Rawls family with the loss of Mr. Linwood so soon after the loss of his dear wife. Mr. Linwood was a fine man who served his country in the military and he was a member of American Legion Post 102 for the past 16 years. May he rest in peace and may God bless his family.
