Hi my name is Karen Rhoades my dad and mom knew your dad and mom. My dad and your dad were good friends. My dad worked the same shift as yours did at American Enka and at BASF. I’m so sorry to hear of Grastys passing and of your moms. I lost dad and mom several years back so I know how hard it is to lose our parents. My parents were Richard and Claudette Walker and they lived on Killian Road in the Beaverdam area of North Asheville. I pray god will comfort you at this time and I’m sorry for your loss.
