The memory of Lake Hiawassee, her flowers, her smile, and her prayers; all bring me tears as I read about her death; but they are tears of happiness as I know she is with our Lord. – she is Home. Great- neice Robyn, grand-daughter of her deceased brother Frank Creasman.
Precious memories how they linger, how they ever flood my soul
Memories of times spent at the cabin at Lake Hiawassee.
Memories of a ‘real’ vacation spent at their house when I was 10 yrs old. Riding the city bus into Asheville to shop at Woolworths.
Memories of a lady with a beautiful smile, soft spoken, devoted daughter and wife who loved the Lord and her church.
In the stillness of the midnight, precious sacred seeds unfold.
I’ll always remember and love Aunt Gladys and Uncle Glen.

(daughter of her late brother, Frank A Creasman)
Dear Claude –
I just learned of your sister’s death today, Thursday July 1. Please accept my sincerest condolences.
I have been trying to find out how to get in touch with you for many months now, to no avail. Please phone me at 298-4133, or write me at 12 Gladstone Rd, Asheville, 28805. It would be wonderful to talk about old times and bring each other up to date. For eg, did you hear that my poor father finally died last Jan?
Once again, though I did not know your sister, my deepest sympathies to you for your loss.
Sincerely, Michael Baker
