Wade and Family, Christmastime makes it even tougher to lose our loved ones. It has been many years since we attended West Asheville Presbyterian Church together. The only comfort at this time has to be our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. I am probably one of the few who remembers riding the bus with your Father. Zunita and Joe
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Blessings and peace, Betty Nelon Rhodes
Wade and Family, It has been many years since we were at W. A. Presbyterian Church together. Losing a loved one at this season makes it even tougher. The only comfort has to come from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope in some small way it does help to know others do care. Zunita and Joe
Dear Mr. Elliott, Joy, Raymond and Doug and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Nita’s passing. I did not know that she was in Aston Park Health Care Center and that she had gotten worse.
Nita was very dear to me, a ‘mentor’ in my young days of coming to the ‘Elliott Household’ with Joy and spending the night and especially coming for Sunday dinner after church….to her wonderful meals and cakes…. I shall always cherish all of the memeories I have of being at the Elliott household.and I shall never forget her and all of the family.
Joy, you will always be very very dear to me…. PLEASE don’t forget that.
We just got back to St. James City from there last night. I am so sorry that I will be unable to be there, but please know that my prayers and thoughts are with all of the family during this trying time….
I lost my Mom this past February and I know how hard it is. I miss her so much. She too was at Aston Park Health Care, which is such a wonderful place.
Take care and I will get in touch soon.
Love, Irma
