Dear D.J.,
I’m so so sorry for the loss of your Dad. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how old your parent is, when they die it’s such a shock and leaves such a hole. I’m thinking of you and your mother in this sad time and want to give you the biggest hug when you get back to Knoxville.
All the best,

Our prayers are with you as you face the days of loss ahead. Remember ‘Special Memories Bring Peace to the Heart’! He will forever be

Mr. Jackson holds a lot of fond memories for me from my childhood. I remember going home with Doris after church, and though he was quiet I sensed in those young years his subtle sense of humor. I am grateful for his solid Christian beliefs and he stood to me in those formative years as a man who loved the Lord. My sympathy to each of his loved ones, and I know that he is in a better place (with my loved ones.) Love, Beth (Trantham) Mudie

Dear Aunt Sue, Doris, Jean and Eddie,
I’ve been on sort of a quest to find out how family is doing down there. It’s been 18 years since I was last in Asheville; when my mom, Juanita Taylor, passed away in May of 1992.
I’m sorry to hear about Uncle Frank’s passing. I hope you all are doing good. I also learned that Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Janey passed away as well since 2000.
I went through a divorce from Joy in 1999/2000 and lost everyone’s address from down there. I’ve since remarried (in 2001) and have 3 step daughters in addition to my own sons Lee, Matt & Josh.
If anyone there wants to try and contact me my email is dave@mastersmix.com or call me at 907-720-2770. Be blessed!
