As a Sunday school student of Mr. Plemmons, as a young boy, my life has been shaped by his influence and his teaching of the principles of Jesus, both in word and by life example.
This community is a better place because of his devotion to faith and family, and that he actually lived out what he taught; a rare quality even among Christians.
Dear Lynn and Family,
Brian and I are so very, very sorry for you and your family. Even though I have experienced the pain, it’s so very hard to put into words. Your daddy was a wonderful man and soldier in the Lord. I will always remember his kindness and always willing to pray for Nicole. The hole in your heart must be a large one. We are in prayer for you and your family and will be here for you for any need.
Due to circumstances, neither of us will be able to attend the family time or funeral. Lynn, please trust me when I tell you God’s grace is sufficent for all things.
With Great Love,
Brian & Karen Redfield

Please know that you will be constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I’ve always loved Jerry as one of my favorite uncles and I will always remember him as that handsome young man that married my beautiful aunt.

Our thoughts are with the family of Mr. Plemmons at this time. Lynda and Dalphin
Jerry was my Sunday School teacher. He was a true ‘man of God’ who came to church many times when he didn’t feel like being there. It never affected the quality of his lessons except to make them more meaningful through his devotion to the class. He will be sorely missed.
Dear Family,
I extend my sympathies to all of you at this time. Just know that God is ever-present to comfort, love, and give you strength as you face the days ahead. We will remember Jerry for his faithfulness to his Lord.
