Guestbook

  1. Renelle and all of the family….We were saddened to read of the death of
    good friend ‘Herb/Jim’. We have been missing him, since we lost touch a few years ago. We always enjoyed his sense of humor and remember his generosity
    in offering to lend his brand new car to us when we visited in Asheville.
