I am so sorry about Aunt Lynne she was a great lady. May God bless each of you. Ted’s wife Margaret
Dear Phillip & Linda,
Just want you to know we are sorry we could not be with you at this time. Your Mother along with Kermit & Georgie were more like Brother and Sisters to my brother George and myself we first meet them in 1930 when your grandfather and they came to Plesent Gardens to visit his sister our Grandmother. We probably sen more of them as we grew up them the other Nesbitt’s. My prayers are with you as you adjust to going on without her. Just think She and your Dad are together forever now!

I didn’t know Lynne, but I think she may have been related to me. My 2nd great-grandfather, James Elliott Nesbitt, was married 4 times. His last marriage, according to family information, was to a Mrs. Young, and George Washington Nesbitt was their son.
If anyone reads this and recognizes this information, there are lots and lots of Nesbitts in Arkansas and many other places who would love to know your branch of the family. I am doing genealogy research on the Nesbitts, and I have a lot of information
Hope to hear from someone.
I have also left a message on the guestbook for Georgia Nesbitt Young. If it turns out that I am related to Lynne and and Georgia and those who loved them, I will be so very sad that I found this information too late. My condolences on the death of your family member.
