Mrs. Silvers and family, I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Silvers. He was such a sweet and caring person. I remember him coming to see my grandmother, Sarah Hensley, every week when she was in the nursing home. I will never forget all the times he came to visit my mom, Martha Ball, at home during her time when she was battling cancer. Heaven now has a very special angel. He will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 2Thessalonians 2:16, 17 ‘? May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and hope which we don’t deserve, comfort your hearts with all comfort, and help you in every good thing you say and do.
Dear Silvers family, I was so sad to hear about Mr Silvers. He was one of my favorites. He was so kind and thoughtful to all of our family. He was there right soon after my parents died. I so remember him and Mrs Christine Ingle teaching us Training Union at Grace Baptist Church. He was a soft spoken gentleman and I will surely miss him and his sweet smile. He knew how to make people feel loved and special. God bless and comfort each of you in this huge loss. We will see him again!With love, Martha Ballinger Farmer

Agnes and family, I really enjoyed the fellowship I have had in the past few years, eating Wednesday night supper, going to the rescue mission with him and times of just enjoying fellowship with him. II Corinthians 13:11b says ‘The God of Love and Peace shall be with you.

Agnes you are the love of his life and his children and family were his joy.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I can never express the influence Mr. Silver had on my life. He was my Training Union teacher at Emma as well as a neighbor. He influenced my life so much. When I saw him at West Asheville Baptist I immediately knew who he was. I am so thankful for him and how he taught me how important it is to live a christian life. God bless and comfort you all.
Agnes, Janet, & family…the words have escaped me. That smile of Franks could warm anyone up and if you were graced with one of his big bear hugs as well, you could not help but have joy in your heart! He was simply the sweetest man I think I have ever met. Love to all of you!
