  5. Sherry and Charlene, I was sorry to hear that Mavis has passed. She was a joy to know. She shared her singing with those around her. It has been close to 2 years since Mother died; doesn’t seem that long and the times we were with her at Emerald Ridge, we always enjoyed talking to your Mother. The years may pass but the friendships that we made a long the way is lasting. I’m sure that Mavis is still singing and my Mother is right there with her. May God comfort each of you during this difficult time.

  8. Dear Sherry,I’m thinking about you today,and praying that you all receive the lord’s peace!You are a very special lady!

  9. Mavis’ smile, singing, and sunny personality will be greatly missed. She always had a kind word and a bit of humor. With sympathy for your loss.

  10. Dear Family, We have many memories of Mavis. I went to Erwin with her and in later years, we would gather at Ronnie and Barbara Franklin’s house where George and Ronnie and others would pick and grin for hours. We went with the choir at Elk Mountain several times to Emerald Ridge to sing on Sunday afternoon. We are so sorry for your loss and didn’t know about it until today. I guess I didn’t recognize the last name. To me, she has always been Mavis King. Our love, prayers and thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

  11. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. Please find comfort from the promises found in God’s Word the Bible.
    John 5:28,29
