Thank you for leaving memorials to Eliada Homes. Memorial gifts give ‘new life’ to the children and families we help.
Mrs. Williams was a friend to Eliada for many years. She will be missed.
Jim, you are in my prayers as you deal with your mother’s death. May God comfort you and Frances as only he can while you trust in his word to receive us unto himself when we have put our faith in him and accepted him as our Lord and Savior. I trust that your precious mother is in God’s loving care.
Much love,

We send you our love and prayer for comfort during your time of grieving over the loss of Kate. She was more than a good friend to my mother, Bert (Mrs. M. M.) Freeman. She was also a good friend and tolerant support to my brother Dennis. In recent years, when we have not lived in Asheville, we still heard from my mother and brother ‘Kate said this,’ or ‘Kate is doing that.’ Along with Richard and the other children, we are beginning to appreciate the narrowing circle that is the result of aging. Let us all celebrate those great parents who lived through and survived the Great Depression and World War II — they are heroes of a very special sort. We bid you peace!
