So sorry for your loss. I have always loved Gordon and Belvie. I can remember going to their home to work off tobacco as a child. I’ll always remember running into them as we camped in Cade’s Cove. Fond memories. Prayers for your family during this time.
I am so sorry to hear this. Belvie & Gordon were 2 of my favorite fellow campers in Cades Cove. They were always so happy and kind.
