Virginia & Jody,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have fond memories of the many holidays and family gatherings with Aunt Meda and Uncle Howard. I remember all the Christmas Days with all the family gathering for dinner, gifts and singing around the piano. We had lots of fun times and great memories.
God will bless and guide the family at this time.
Love
Dale & Jacque Wright
Jody and Jack and Family, In May 1989 I was at Groce for my own Mother’s Service and saw you there making arrangements for your Father. Regardless of age, health or any other circumstance we are never ready to give up our loved ones, and especially our Mothers. The only comfort comes from Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern of caring friends. We miss our friends at Sardis Church and please know we are thinking of you. Zunita and Joe Clark
I grew up in West Asheville Baptist Church and Mrs. Gaddy was my Sunday School teacher when I was young. I have precious memories of her, as my teacher, and also as I got older. She had a big impact on my life and for that I am thankful. My sincere sympathy to the family. May god hold you in the palms of his hands and give you comfort. Love,
