I'm so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Mr. Lamar and Little Debbie were very loyal customers to our small family business in Alamo, Texas. We hadn't heard from them in a few months, and were very saddened to hear of his passing. We hope that Little Debbie is doing well with the passing of her dad. Sending out our thoughts and prayers from Dog Gone It.
