Sorry to hear about your Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
A lady who saw 100 years and then some. That is so special. She definitely saw a lot of water go under the bridge. I am sure she was a walking encyclopedia of Buncombe county’s history.Anyone who has a relative like this should be so proud and let them tell you about the way it was back then. My deepest sympathy to the family. Gerry Huntley in Fairview
