So sorry to hear of your loss of JC. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love u and miss you. May God comfort your heart and with time heal your broken heart.
I wanted to send my love and condolences to the Settles family. I am so sorry for your loss. At times like this we need comfort. God’s Word can provide that comfort for it speaks of a beautiful hope for the future. John 5:28,29 says, ‘Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’ What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Settles I just found out bout your husband passing away. I am so sorry and will miss him setting up at the Fairgrounds. When I saw you two last Novemer and he told me he was going into surgery for his lungs and wouldn’t see us in December I told him we would miss seeing you both terribly. .I ask the lady in charge in December if she had heard how he was doing and she said she would check as she didn’t know you were having surgery. She thanked me for telling her. I didn’t even know your name – I always referred to him as ‘my battery man’ Please accept our sincere condolances . If there is anything we can do to help – please let us know. Your flea mkt. friend.
