Dear Kirsten, Rob, Emma, Alexa and Catherine, Thinking of you all at this sad time. Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Carol & boys, I was saddened to see of David's passing. Please know my prayers are for you and am thankful to have known David. What a treasure. What a moment when he met His Savior!

Pat was my Dad's supervisor at The Laurels when he was diagnosed with cancer back in 1993. She was the best and treated him with such care. She made sure everything was in order to make sure he continued getting a pay check. She was a class act and I always enjoyed running into her around town. My sincerest condolences to Elaine and her family.

Claudia and family: Was sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet Mother. May God give you peace in the coming days. Take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. Cherish the sweet memories and know you will see her again one day.

Claudia and Family. May you all feel the sweet peace of Jesus Love during this difficult time. Rosa Lee was a very sweet lady.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends in this time of sorrow.

RosaLee was an awesome aunt and great aunt to my son. She was the most kind hearted person you would ever meet. She loved her Lord and is at peace in Heaven.

Debbie was an example of a great prayer warrior.

Paula, Mary,Linda With our deepest sympathy, we will keep you in our prayers.

To the family of Mary Ellen Frier, Mary Ellen lived a beautiful, long, happy, loving life. Now that her time on earth has passed, she still lives in the hearts and minds of all of you who loved her.

All her wonderful stories and all her love she gave so graciously and unselfishly, are yours to cherish and to share. We are sorry for the loss you feel of someone so special to you. We are grateful for the opportunity to have met Mary Ellen and John, and all the members of your family. God Bless you all. Wit love From Carter’s family; Patty, Joe, Virginia, Shilo, Sammy, Michael Harley

When my Son, Brad Willoughby was a baby I asked God that when the time came for him to be married that he would have Christian and loving In Laws. With Christian in laws comes an awesome Daughter in Law. Well God showed out on this answered prayer with Debbie and Jim. Debbie was such a gracious lady who I know loved my son as if he were her own. Debbie and Jim not only accepted Brad, Phil and I have always felt accepted as well. There is absolutely no doubt Debbie is with God right now. And I will be forever thankful for the beautiful Daughter in Love I have. Larissa, you have an awesome legacy in memory of Debbie. With eternal love to the Sineath Family, Donna and Phillip Feazell

Janice was such a kind person. I remember riding my bike with my younger brother to Joan’s house in Frankfort, and her mother Janice was so sweet. Joan, Kevin, Cheryl, Erin and Matthew, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Robin, Chuck, William and Kelly

My Aunt Mary loved family. I have many fond memories of her, but one sticks out— her kitchen refrigerator plastered edge to edge with photos of children, sons- and daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, grandnieces, and nephews. Indeed, one had to guess at the color of that fridge… the photos covered nearly all its surface. Think of the number of times you use your fridge each day. Then think of the joy Mary Ellen got when she used hers, and of the many fond thoughts that (whether we knew it or not) flew our way on a daily basis. She will be missed.

Carol, Our prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. God has welcomed a faithful servant in to Heaven.

Ann , I remember your mother was always so kind and good to us kids at sleepovers. I’m sorry for your loss

With my heartfelt thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy during this time following David's promotion to Heaven.

Prayers for all the family

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I cannot put into words how much the entire Anderson family meant to all the Hicks family. Our summers in Bat Cave are full of memories and wonderful times.

All those summers you and your family made special for us. Tractor tubes down the river, jeep rides up and down the mountains. I just found out. You were so special.

Steve was a kind, gentle giant who was never ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My husband and I worshipped with he and his precious family on many occasions. I know he is being held and was instantly HEALED as soon as his sweet spirit left his body. Godspeed The Comforter to hold you and your family up Tammey. You’re in our hearts, minds and certainly our prayers. John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Steve loves his family so very much. I say love not past tense because his love is forever. That's what, to me, sums him up. A Christian man living and caring for all. RIP

With deepest sympathy and prayers. I remember Barbara fondly from my childhood.

Andrew, Heather, Ashton, Findlay and Mrs. Elder, Your family is on our hearts during this very difficult time. Prayers that you find peace in your memories of him. Andrew's Work family.

I will always remember how much fun Steve was in school, always laughing, and he was just the nicest person. Rest in peace.

Worked with Pat when she first arrived in Hendersonville, & oh my southern drawl some days was too much for her to understand.. :) Pat was a true friend.. will miss her smiling face.. and she certainly was one of a kind.. Love Christine Rogers

Sorry to hear of your loss.

My condolences and prayers for your family

Charles was my friend for most of my adult life. He was a good man and a good father. I'll miss him.

Linda I’m so very sorry. We never have our Mama’s long enough. Prayers for comfort during this difficult time.

She was a wonderful lady. She will be missed by so many.

Linda and family, sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you during this time.

Prayers to the family during this difficult time.

Tom was my cousin and during our childhood our families celebrated almost every holiday together. So many memories. I’m smiling now remembering when he took my childhood toys apart—and then miraculously put them back together! Or went after my poor kitty to pull her tail. He and I were about the same age and had fun together growing up. As an adult, I’ll remember him for his ability to fix anything and do it for you without your even asking, his creativity and insight, his knack for researching things, his love for his pets, his enjoyment of the outdoors, and his cooking skills and appreciation of healthy food. He liked to do things his own way— -but with such a kind and loving heart underneath it all. He should have lived longer but I’m grateful Kirsten and the family were there for him in his final weeks along with his friends and his wonderful neighbors. I will miss him and send love and sympathy to Kirsten, Karen, Enid (sister) and everyone who loved him.

Tim, Jennifer and family. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your precious Mother

A lovely tribute to an accomplished gentleman. Kindest thoughts to the family at this time.

This is an absolutely beautiful eulogy. So sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a wonderful man.

Enjoyed travels and working with Max in Ecusta Marketing, He was liked and respected by all. Charlotte so sorry just heard about this today. Peace and blessings.

MY SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY. I HAD A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH STEVE WHEN HE WAS A LAWYER AND A JUDGE. HE WAS ALWAYS A GREAT FRIEND AND READY TO HELP, THANKS ALSO FOR HIS MILITARY SERVICE.

As the interim rector at St. John in the Wilderness, I got to know Stephen and visited in his home where, as I recall, he grew up. A loving, caring man of God. May his soul rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him. Fr. Bill McCleery

Such a wonderful lady. I will miss her a lot. My condolences to Ken and the rest of the family.

Dear Arlo and Family: I just learned of Ted's passing and want to express my sympathy. Ted was my mentor and my friend for the sixteen years I spent in the waste industry in Palm Beach County, and he was an extremely important part of my life. I never got tired of the many opportunities to play golf together, to soak up Ted's wisdom and advice, to hear his "war stories", meet his many friends and generally and thoroughly enjoy Ted's company. I'm a pretty old man myself now - still working, by the way - and I continue to tell "Uncle Teddy" stories to my family, friends and employees. There is much to learn from Ted's anecdotes and humor. I greatly regret losing touch with Ted when my career took me to the Panhandle, Hawaii, Chicago and now, Long Island. I hope he knew that I loved him like a father. Best to you all, Mike

I go back to the early 50's with Greg and I have to say,He was one of my best friends forever.

All the ladies from the Women’s Guild at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church send our deepest sympathy to Jan’s family. She will be so, so missed by all of us. May God rest her soul and bring comfort to the family.

Steve we are sad to hear about the loss of your sister. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Jan and Ken were our backdoor neighbors in Hendersonville. Jan was the kindest, most dear person and she will be missed. We were so blessed to have her in our lives for the time we knew her. Jan and Ken's families are in our thoughts and prayers.

I met David Owen about 40 years ago when I married his brother-in-law, George Hansen. We enjoyed many visits at the family home in Kentucky and also when David and family came to Tulsa for family get-togethers. He was a great brother-in-law. He was reserved, but when he did speak it showed his intelligence and sense of humor. I am so glad George and I visited David and AnnEtte in their lovely North Carolina home in 2014. David had transitioned into a pleasant retirement with many interests. We will always cherish the memories.

Ruben and I did not know Janice personally, only through her brother, Steve and he always spoke highly of her!!! She certainly touched many lives through all her volunteering. She will be missed♥️

We will miss Grandma Jan. We always think of her with her hands reaching out to give a hug, knitting something special or holding a glass of wine toasting life! Love, Cindy, Matt and Austin

He was always an accepting friend. The longer I knew him the more respect I held for him seeing his heart was what he lived by. Anyone that knew him is a better person for being around his example. Learning to love people and getting things done right. I pray God's comfort for Donna and family thru this difficult time.

Steve will be remembered for his service both public and personal. Over the years and during his time at the county’s inspection office, we always took time to speak to each other. With me being an electrician and him being a plumber, there was always a little ribbing back and forth. I always admired him for his commitment to public service, and told him so often. I’ll always wish we had spent more time talking about what we had in common and what we didn’t. Amy approached me years ago about my family genealogy and how it might be tied to hers. I shared what I knew about mine and how we were connected. She thought that was “so cool”. I cried when she passed, so suddenly. I really felt bad for Steve and Lance. Life’s that way though. When you least expect it, it throws you a curve. The legacy Steve left behind will continue as a tribute to his kind heart and passion for others. I’m glad I got to know him, and share a little life with him. Well done Steve, well done. .

I'm so sorry Tammy and my heart goes out to you and your family. Your Mom was my closest friend and I will miss her every day until we meet again in heaven.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with John at 1242. I know he loved his family. God be with you .

So sorry for your loss. May God be with you both. I worked with John at 1242.

I am sincerely saddened by this news. He fought so hard. I’m so grateful Steve was my friend. May God Bless him . R I P my friend.

I worked with Steve on HSAD. His passion for making Hendersonville a better place for everyone inspired many people. His attitude and work ethic should serve as a role model to ALL future Hendersonville City Council members. Hendersonville lost a special friend!

We are so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. She was a blessing.

Linda, although I didn't know Don, reading his obituary makes me wish I had! He sounds like a wonderful human being who enriched everything he put his heart into. This community, this world are better because of Don Miller was here. With deepest sympathy, Debi

What a privilege it was to work with Mr. Franks as caregivers! He was a dear soul and we will cherish our time together and will hold the memories dear to our hearts. May God bless the family with comfort and strength!!! Love, Linda and Evert Potgieter

Clarice and Jackie, my deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. I pray for strength and courage for you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I knew her as a lovely gracious sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

It’s a great honor to meet you Judge Steve Franks during our visit on 2017 and spend thanksgiving day dinner with your family. To the Franks family and friends our prayers and sympathy in this time of grief. May you rest in peace.

I was so sorry to read about Dawnine. You have my deepest sympathy. We were very close friends in High School.

Dawnine , was one of my Best friends in High School. I lost track of her after she moved to So Caroline, but she never left my mind. I told my Granddaughter about her and the things we did, We had many sleepovers and her Mother was one special lady. I haven't seen her since one of the high school reunions when she came and stayed the weekend with my husband and me. Dawnine , I will miss you and always love you., Pat Hale

Sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you all. Your always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all very much.

In loving memory of Aunt Marie. May she rest in Heaven. We will miss her beautiful smiling face.

Prayers for all the family, she will be missed.

To all the family, we are sorry for your loss. Prayers for all the family. Roy and Jessie Webb

We are so sorry to hear about Della. Esther and I worked with her at Diamond Brand for many years. She was the most sweetest lady you could ever meet.

So glad that I had the privilege of knowing mama Barnwell. She was a very precious lady, loved God, loved to sing and she knew how to sing! Praise God she made it. She will be greatly missed I know. Love and prayers for all the family.

Love and prayers for the family

Love and Prayers for the family.

She was my mother in law for many years. She loved her Lord and loved to sing. She treated her daughter in laws the same way she treated her daughters. She loved her family dearly. We will miss her so much. Fly high with the angels Mamaw and I will see you again some sweet day.

Clarice, we are so very sorry to hear about your great loss. John was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed. We are always here for you if there is anything that you need. You and Jackie are in our thoughts and prayers.

We’re so sorry for the loss of such a dear woman! Prayers of peace and strength to all her family and friends.

Sweetest soul I ever had the pleasure of meeting. You will be missed . Love and prayers for family

It was an honor to be one of the caregivers for this precious man. I saw first hand how much he loved his family and his love for animals. My condolences to all who loved him and may he rest in peace.

Judge Franks was such an amazing man. His mother Margaret was a resident at Cardinal Care Center where I worked. When he was sworn in to become a Judge he asked could I arrange it to be done at Cardinal so his mother could be there. He was such a compassionate person, loved to joke, made sure his mother had the best of everything. I will truly miss him and will always remember his love and great conversations. Prayers for all the family.

Cindy was the sweetest person, with the warmest heart, biggest smile and such love for her family and friends. I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with her and to get to know her. Jennifer and family you are all in my prayers.

I'm sorry to hear of John's passing. he was a great guy we worked at walmart together for years. His family is in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in your time of need.

I just found out about Gary's passing and want to express my sincere condolences to his family. Gary and I were cousins on the Merrell side of the family. When I was growing up at Fruitland, I saw him often, but lost touch over the years. Just before I retired from Blue Ridge Community College, I saw Gary with one of his grandchildren at an event at North Henderson. We talked about family and old times. It was really nice seeing and talking with him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Your work is done, now may peace rest with thee.

Clarice and Jackie we are deeply sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily for comfort and strength. Love you lots! Becca and Tony

It was quite by accident that I learned of Dr. Owen's death, and I am very saddened to hear of it. Dr. Owen was my chemistry professor at Murray State in the Spring of 1979. He loved chemistry and made it all right for me to love it, too. He was our "cool" professor, the first of the teaching generation to bring demonstrations into the classroom. I am a chemistry professor now and am contemplating retirement. But Dr. O will always remain my inspiration, and my cherished "cool" professor.

We are thankful that John was our next door neighbor for 20 years. We felt safer knowing he kept a keen eye on things around the neighborhood. We enjoyed chatting with him in the back yard and when he would leave he would always say,”Have a good one!” Clarice and Jackie,we love you and are praying you experience peace that passes all understanding.

My father and mother (Uncle James and Aunt Mary to David and AnnEtte) have many wonderful memories of meeting with David and my cousin AnnEtte in the Smoky Mountains and visiting their home. My mom's favorite is that after listening to my father catch him up on events, David interjected, "And now it's time to hear about Mary." Thank you, David, for making my mother laugh! Two memories that I wish to share reflect David's scientific curiosity, dedication to learning, and positive Christian faith. A few years ago, David learned that I was teaching 5th graders math and science. He felt that this was such a good age to "hook" these children - to get them excited about what math and science offer. David wrote a lesson on the Fibonacci sequence for me and provided all the materials. What a blessing! And the lesson had the desired affect! Last fall, my husband and I were able to meet David and my cousin AnnEtte at Lake Junaluska. David and AnnEtte showed us the smaller chapel that reflects the Celtic Christianity and shared the positive aspects of faith that it embraces. It was a beautiful day that focused on family and nature in the backdrop of a setting dedicated to faith in our Maker. I am grateful for David's life, for his marriage to my cousin AnnEtte, and for all of their family (biological and spiritual). And I am grateful for David's positive Christian faith and his constant curiosity and appreciation for life. David will be missed here, but greatly welcomed by those he is joining!

I am so sorry for your loss, Clarice. You & Jackie are in my thoughts & prayers.

My deepest condolences to Clarice and Jackie. John was a fine gentleman and will be greatly missed. He was always so welcoming and friendly to be around. Prayers and peace to you doing this challenging time.

Clarice, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss of your husband and your house. You and your family are in my prayers for God’s comfort to each of you. I will continue to pray for you as you face the coming weeks.

prayers to all

I'm so sorry for the loss of John. I worked with him at Walmart for many years. He was a kind and caring person, always smiling! He will be missed! My prayers are with his family and friends. May God bring you comfort and peace.

Linda, So sorry to hear of Donald's passing. I will always have geat memories of seeing the two of you in my classes at the NC Arboretum. Both you and Donald's love of nature has been very inspiring to me and I'm sure also to others.

I worked with John for many years at Walmart. He was a good friend, hard worker, and very smart. Sending prayers for his family and friends. Rita Gilbert

I am shocked and so sad. I just found out about Cindy. She was such a lovely and loving person. My heart goes out to the family, especially Jennifer and Joe.

Jennifer and family, much sympathy for the passing of Cindy. She helped me learn that folks from above the Mason Dixon line were OK. I found her to be a caring daughter, loving mother and a true friend to animals. She formed a strong home. I remember that home getting stuck in the middle of Bearwallow Rd for awhile, but Cindy steered it to a firm foundation. Rest in peace Cindy, you have steered a positive difference in the people you befriended.

Jennifer,Joe and Keith So sorry to hear about the passing of Cindy. She was a great person and I am so glad I got to know her. 0 Prayers for all.

Cindy had the greatest laugh and her smile lit up the room. Love and deepest sympathy to her family

Joe,Jennifer and Keith. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Cindy. She was such an amazing lady. Always a smile on her face. Our thoughts and prayers for you and your family. ❤️ Waynette and Jonathan

I will never forget Cindy’s always smiling face and caring heart. Just thinking about working with her and Jen during a flooring reset that first time I met them both, brings back a cherished memory that warms my heart. They both saw something in me that I could not and almost instantly made me a part of their family. Cindy you changed my life and I cannot thank you enough....my heart is deeply saddened and I hope you know that I always appreciated and loved you.

The peace and beauty of the North Carolina Mountains mirrored David’s persona.

Our hearts are filled with such sorrow. And we pray that peace and comfort may be found in all the memories of David we have shared through the years. Our heartfelt love and prayers to all.

David was a very accomplished man but also a very humble man. As his neighbor, you knew by speaking with him that he was quite intelligent, but he was never boastful of his accomplishments. Rest In Peace, David, you earned it.

I had the honor of being on the same team in pool league. He tried harder than anyone I have seen. I miss him already. Tim Cone

Carolyn and family, I just found out today. My condolences. My former boss, mentor and friend, Thank you.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Greg will be missed and he will never be forgotten at AP. I will always remember his wise advices. May his soul rest in peace.

To my UG: I am heartbroken but have loving memories from childhood into adulthood & am sad I didn’t get to express how important a role model you were to me and later to George. All our fun dancing nights, our visits to California so so many more! The admiration and respect goes deep and the only consolation is that I know how happy a life you made for both you & Nancy. I miss you and will always always love you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort in all the special memories shared with Greg. He will be fondly remembered and always in our thoughts and memories at AP.

Remembering David, neighbor and friend who taught me not to call my precious stones “rocks”. Will miss talking with you and I’m sorry I called you ‘Hank’ when we first met. Rest In Peace David

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Greg. He will be truly missed. Our condolences to Nancy and his immediate family. Rest In Peace Greg.

Bob and Family- I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and provide strength during this difficult time.

To my Brother Greg, who I loved with all my heart, Greg Al's was so loved by my husband Charly. who was a nig, brother, surrogate father & a best friend. Greg was with us through out our lives since I was 10 years older than him. He was a brilliant & successful man, and we loved him always & will miss him very much. I LOVE YOU my kid brother [email protected] We will meet again & now you are with our Mom!

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing but I found the Doctor who brought me into this world so many years ago, who knew? May his spirit and love of life be lifted up and praised and shared with all who have passed and knew of him before. I hope the best for the people who he left behind and my sincere condolences go out to all those left behind, I just wished I had gotten the chance to get to know the man who brought me into this world, Thankyou and RIP

He was the Doctor who delivered me in 1959

Bob and Family - my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.

Millie was such a wonderful neighbor. I always hoped she would be outside when I was coming or going just so we could greet one another. I knew she was there for me and she knew I was there for her (like the day with her golf cart) and that was peace of mind. I didn’t learn of her passing until one hour before her service today my heart goes out to each of the family members because I know she was a fun, loving person and I know you will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

I want to send my deepest condolences to Doris' family. She was a great lady who always had a special place in our hearts.

Justine, Kimberly, Andrew, and Danielle would like to express our condolences. Many great memories!

Love you

Millie You inspired me, and helped me, and gave me strength. You are the original strong independent woman. Rest in peace with Joe at your side.

Glenda, I am so very sorry to hear of your son’s passing. My heartfelt sympathy to you and the rest of your family during this very painful time. May God give you all peace and comfort.

My Mommy....my mommy, peace be still.

Thought I already did this , but oh well! My mommy in the early years was the best! I will never forget the first flower garden we planed, sweet peas. Saw my first snake doing this, dad thought he was helpng so smashed the garden with a glass...boy did I yell at him! My mom always cared for me when I was sick...after I moved away from her I would cry for her when I was sick. She would play games with all of us in the neighborhood, giant steps, red light green light, etc (unitll Jennie ran bare naked for the ice cream truck jingling and came back covered in tar from the road, lol) the best was the songs she taught us to sing which I sang to my daughter, friends children and now my grandchild, the most reputable being, "the little brown sparrow" Things went crazy in life for mom , my brothers and sisters and I, yet I understood and always , always loved her! Just had to be from afar.

I am so sorry to learn of Millie's death. She was a wonderful spirit who I enjoyed being around very much. She was a no nonsense person with a great sense of humor. She will be missed by her family as well as the Spring Haven Community.

She was my step mother, she could cook, and I loved watching her do her hair when she was getting ready to go out with daddy , it was beautiful.

From all of us at Bee Hive, we are so sorry for Frankie's passing.

I'm so sorry for the passing of Gary. He went to school with my uncle Ray Lyda. He came through my grocery line at Ingles. God bless all his family during this time.

I am sad to hear of Gary's passing. He was such a nice person and I enjoyed working with him at King St county government.

Judy, David and family, sorry for your loss. Bill was a good friend toTony and I enjoyed working with him at GE.. I know he will be missed.

Prayers for Judy , David and family. Bill was a great guy, enjoyed working with him at GE for years. So sorry for your loss.

My little sister Mary this candle light your way and bring you the peace you deserve. I miss you so damn much. My life will never be the same without you Love, your big Sis. Sarah ❤️‍

Dawn Barton was one of the few people in this world that truly had a kind , loving, giving heart and that is hard to find in this day and time. She was always helping others putting her own issues and problems last. weather it was giving them a ride or just sitting and talking about their problems. Anybody that truly knew her has not a bad word to say about her. Everybody considered her a friend but she was more than just a friend to me. She was my rock my support and I am PROUD to say MY BEST FRIEND. She has been there for me when I needed her more times than I can remember. We all have issues in life we have to deal with (some bigger than others )but as she struggled with her issues her loving heart never changed . She was always a compassionate person with a bigger heart than most of the people I have meet in my lifetime. I loved her and will miss her more than words can say. She will always be in my heart and my mind. I will always love you Dawn. I hope you have now found the peace and happiness you have been searching for .

Earl was so good to me when he was working with my father at McAbee’s Auto Mart. I have very fond memories of him. He was a very gracious man and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family. God bless you all.

Clyde and family, sorry for the loss of your mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Rob, Miranda, Bob, Jo Ann and your Steaco Auction family

Judy so sorry for your loss, You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I felt very lucky to have an extra grandmother in my life called gramma Duke. Her granddaughter Jennifer is my best friend and growing up we spent a lot of time together. Gramma Duke was always so welcoming and kind to everyone she encountered. We will miss her until the day we can meet again . Fly High Gram we Love you.

Praying for you and your family

My sincerest condolences for you, Judy, and all the family. Bill was a wonderful man. Have known him from growing up together in the Nazarene church. May he rest in peace. Comfort, grace and strength to the family.

I grew up in same neighborhood with Bill + had many fond memories. I am so sorry to hear of his departure as I always wanted to see him again. Life is so short, but will see him in Heaven.

I enjoyed working with Gary at the inspection department. He was such a nice man. My sympathies go out to the family.

Praying for all of the family. Our sincere sympathy, Glenn and Susie Hyder

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know she was a very special lady to you both. She is in your hearts and memories. Sending love and prayers.

Gary and I worked together for many years at the inspection department. Gary and I were always buddies. I am so sad to hear of his passing. God bless the family during this difficult time.

Gram, you were the absolute light in my life, and I will miss you forever. I cannot thank you enough for the love you showed me my entire life. you and grampy were the most wonderful grandparents there could ever be. I am so lost without you, I will miss our dinners together, our talks, and the time we spent together my entire life. Memories of roller coasters, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios,and so many wonderful trips we made, our chicken dinners on the patio, the strawberry and goldfish plant, and asking to watch Annie, and Strawberry Shortcake over, and over with bean dip, and chips in tow. My love of CoCo, Kasey, and sweet Teddy bear Muffy, who I still miss to this day. Grampy in his green pinto taking me to Thrifty for ice cream, and letting me tool around on a golf cart at Meadowlark. So many wonderful memories flood my mind, that I will cherish forever. You were an angel on earth to me, and will forever remain my guardian angel forever watching over me. I am so at peace knowing that you are finally with Grampy as you loved him so much, and missed him terribly, and you are reunited with Aunt Bon, and Aunt Judy, Grammy, and Jim, who you also loved so much. It is that peace that will comfort me. I love you little Gram... and remember "Each day I live is a day I get closer to seeing you again" Forever in my heart... xoxoxo Jennifer

We are sending our deepest sympathy to you all I know that this is truly a loss. She was an amazing woman always so sweet kind loving she had this presence that just made you feel like home.

Mr. and Mrs. Fisher came into our lives by a Border Collie Puppy in 1997, we were home on leave (was stationed in Jacksonville FL with Florida Army National Guard flying helicopters) visiting my Parent's in Asheville where I grew up. We saw a small add in the newspaper (which we still have) advertising Border Collie Puppies. We went to the Fishers home and got a wonderful demonstration of herding by Mr. Fisher's dogs, we purchased a female puppy and named her Jen. She lived till 2012 a blessed 15 years of which over the course of those we visited the Fishers many times, they became and remain the dearest of our Family to this day. We actually got a second Border Collie puppy named Elly but sadly she lived only a short time. Mr. Fisher was a very special Man and I looked to him many times for advice, he had a deep kind spirit, his Wife Ms. Pat is an Angel as kind as they come. Mr. Fisher left an indelible mark on our hearts and souls and not just by his wonderful Dogs but by whom he was personally, always caring, always gentle and a Pillar of a Man that is rare ever seen today, God Rest His Soul, and he would say of his Beloved Border Collies, Job Well Done, "That'll Do".......... We Love and Miss You Sir...

Dear Charles & family, Betty was a dear loving lady! She helped me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. Betty was always there to give her lovely smile & help to everyone. I worked with Betty with Relay for Life for Fletcher's Relay. I don't know how she was able to do so much for all.Betty was an inspiration to all who knew her!

I was so very sorry to learn of the recent passing of Elizabeth Freeman. She was such a lovely, kind, talented, and thoughtful person. I will always treasure memories of her during our mutual affiliation with the Henderson County Association of Educational Office Professionals. Elizabeth was a role model of professionalism as a member of the office staff at the former Valley Hill Elementary School and Atkinson Elementary. May God bless, comfort and strengthen each member of her beloved family.

I loved working with Elizabeth at Atkinson Elementary. She was such a kind, sweet lady.

I didn’t know Gail personally, but had spoken with her on the phone and emailed her a few times about Norfolk Terriers, and knew about her through ANTA. She was very kind when she responded to my questions. I just learned of her passing and I will keep her and her family in my prayers.

MaryAnn Kuhn, devoted grandmother to my children, will be remembered with love by all who knew her. My heart is with her whole family as they mourn. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you; blessed art thou & blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now & at the hour of our death, amen. Rest in Peace & Beauty.

i loved you so much big brother going to miss you more than i can say love you

As a child Moma would get upset because instead of saying Carrie Belle I would say "Cowbell" but I thought I was saying it right. I have fond memories in Sunday School and getting to go to Aunt Edna's after church on Sundays. Carrie Belle was a true blessing to me. Elizabeth and Frances you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Betty

Betty Sitton Bryant

Ackie I am in shock after finding out you and Joanne had both passed in 2020. I just found out today 6/14/21. I had hoped, I guessed that you both would live forever, but am comforted knowing you will in Heaven...I could write a book about you both, but you will always be legends to me when I pass by The Esmeralda...To the family, I am so very sorry and send my love and condolenses...xoxox9

Dear Elizabeth and Frances, I was so sad to learn of Carrie Belle's passing. I know she has been very sick for a long time but that does not ease the sadness of her passing. I want you to know I am thinking of both of you and keeping you close in thought and prayers during this difficult time. She was a special lady and her obituary is a wonderful tribute to her life of service to others. Betsy Holland Smith

To Elizabeth's family I offer my sincere sympathy. A life well lived and so thankful for our friendship for many years and now to have the assurance that she will enjoy forever the One who gave His all to make her His child. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, until we meet again.

My fairy godmother has been called to enjoy her eternal reward. No words can express what her love and support over the years have meant to me. AMA (Aunt Mary Ann) always planned special things for me and visited me no matter where I was living. And she welcomed me many times to her home, where she cooked extraordinary meals and made me feel so welcome. I will miss the way she so genuinely listened and cared about me. The way she was as a wife and mother made me want to have that same kind of marriage and family. Although I could never dream of being as good at it as she was! She will be dearly missed, but now I believe I have a guardian angel in Heaven. Love you so much, AMA!

Eddie I love you and I will miss you I’ve learned a lot from you and will continue take what I’ve learned and apply it to my every day life. I will miss your jokes and funny comments .Love the Hartle’s

Sorry for your families lost . God bless you all at this time .

I first met Ralph and his wife Pat in Florida in the early 2000’s. Pat and my recently deceased wife Diane Mantho were childhood friends growing up together in Long Island, NY. We played golf together and it was immediately obvious that Ralph was a people person. We visited Ralph and Pat after they moved to NC . Ralph and I talked about golf . Pat and Diane talked about painting as they were both artists. I only wish we lived closer to them as playing golf regularly with Ralph would have been a wonderful experience. My heart felt condolences to Ralph’s children and grandchildren.

love all

So sorry for your loss

I Will Miss you Love Jimmy

Eddie will be greatly missed. Condolences to the family.

As a small child growing up in Shaws Creek Church, a precious lady I remember so fondly made each person she encountered feel special. When I was 10, she took us to Ridgecrest for a Mission conference. 54 years later, that memory is so vivid in my mind. She truly was a virtuous woman who loved God with all her heart. I’m thankful for the times I was privileged to share with her. She is home.

my brother loved him very much sorry he has left me i remember when we were small i took a picture of him ,Sharon, and Robert he had his hand in my sisters potato chips bag getting her chips it so funny

Desarae and family I am so sorry for your loss

Mary Ann brought warmth, love, big smiles and delicious food to all of the family events I was fortunate enough to share with her. Her beautiful family is truly a testament to the strength of her love and focus. My condolences to her lovely family through whom her light shines.✨

I first met Ralph in 2016 when I joined the Opportunity House Golf League. He was a friendly face that I needed being new to the area. Ralph encouraged me when I was down and was playing terribly, he was the first to give me friendly grief when I played well. I will miss his 1st hole jokes, his advise in the fairway, and his genuine friendship. Ralph was a good man, a good friend, and I will miss him dearly. God's Speed Ralph. "Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand."

I first met Ralph and the rest of the "Stanley Steamers" (see Dick Harmon's post) in the late 1950s as skating partners at the Hub Roller rink on the Northwest side of Chicago. These young men treated me very well, and as a shy young woman, I even felt like they put me on a bit of a pedestal. I remember going to one of Ralph's military balls when he was at Northwestern University. Bob and Dick were groomsmen when Merritt and I married, and we remained lifelong friends with Ralph, Bob, and Dick. Merritt went to school, played baseball, and graduated from Taft High school with Ralph and the other "Stanley Steamers". Even after Merritt died, I remained good friends with Ralph and Dick and enjoyed frequent calls from both and group Facetime chats. I will miss Ralph and wish my most sincere condolences to the Adams family.

Elizabeth and Frances, we are sorry to hear of Carrie's passing, but we know she has been in declining health for a long time. We are so thankful that we got to know you dear folks during the years we were members at Shaws Creek. Carrie was such a dear and special friend. We know you will miss her so much, but take comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing in Heaven in the presence of the Lord with a perfect and healed body. We send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to you. Our Love, Alton and Lynda

There were six of us to start. Merritt Lewis (Louie), Henry Russel (Buzz) and Don Schreck, the two boys and me. Dick Harman, We all graduated from Taft High School in Chicago Illinois in 1952. Ralph along with his brother were Honor Roll students. They were two peas in a pod. It was said that Ralph could just open a book and pass the test, whereas brother Bob had to study hard and long to get the same grades. One year, don't remember exactly what year, Ralph needed a winter jacket. He told all of us if we buy them as club, we could get a discount so we bought six green jackets and called ourselves "THE STANLEY STEAMERS" . My brother was an artist and made us a logo. A great big puff of smoke on the back of our jackets with the words, “STANLEY STEAMERS" in the middle of the smoke and then he drew us a picture of a real Stanley Steamer automobile which we put put on the front of our jackets. We did many things together and became life long friends. Ralph and I played golf at his favorite golf course a few years ago. At our age the ball didn't go very far, but he always managed to hit the ball straight down the fairway. Since then we shared our memories over the phone almost every week until his passing. We had good memories of our youth and even though our path in life took us in different directions, we remained good, no, great friends. Louie, Buzz and Bob were the first to turn in the jackets, and now Ralph has decided to turn in his jacket, too. I will miss you Ralph. You served well my friend. Dick

Ralph and I were friends and golfing buddies for over 15 years. We always rode together and he told me many stories about landing on bouncing decks during storms. He was my hero. Rest In Peace my brother.

To Carrie's family, So sorry to her of her passing. Enjoyed working with her many years at First Union. She was a lovely precious lady. An inspiration to me. May God bless and comfort you all.

Frances and Elizabeth I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Carrie was one of the most kind and sweet persons I have ever known. I remember our working days together that was First Union at that time. Love both of you.

To JoAnn’s family I went through High School with JoAnn and was a band member with her. She also was a dear friend. Several of us spent a lot of time at he home. I remember one morning at Band class, as she walked into the band hall she came up to me and with tears in her eyes, she said “Tommy I wreck my Car last night.” Bless her heart she looked so very sad. She told me what happened and that she was not hurt. After school we went different ways and I did not see her for several years. And that was at a class reunion. I was very sad when I hear that she had left this world, but after reading her obit, and realized she had a very full life. God bless all y’all.

I’m so sorry to hear about Chuck. We had so many good times at his home in Fletcher NC. He was a sweet man.

If you ever needed a story or a joke - Ralph was there. If you ever needed advice on what club to use or how to play the rough - Ralph was there. If you ever had a life question - Ralph was there. With age came his wisdom. He was born with the kindness and humor that made him uniquely Ralph. I will surely miss Ralph being there for us all. Great guy. Great life. Rest In Peace.

Charles and family, we were so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. We never have the right words to say at times like this but please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We loved Betty, she always was so welcoming and she was always smiling. She is in no more pain or suffering now. Hold on to those precious memories. What a Glad Reunion Day That Will Be....

I’m so sorry for your loss. Uncle Ralph was an amazing man and my Dad looked up to him after his Dad passed away. I remember him calling us every Christmas and sharing stories with him. I’m so sorry we couldn’t be there but our love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

we were saddened to hear of Kens passing He was an excellent worker while employed at Apple ridge farms in Dana. Our prayers for his family Wayne, Joann Pace

You will be missed Roger, Dan and I thought the world of you. Sri you in Heaven someday

I only had the pleasure to meet Ralph one time, and that was at his twin brothers funeral. He was an absolute delight to chat with and hear stories of his time in the service as well as the shenanigans he and his brother pulled on people. I do have to say that he threw me for a loop at his brothers funeral, seated in the front row of the church, I had to take several double takes. He and Bob were IDENTICAL Twins! I am so sorry for your loss, he was a truly neat guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Adams family.

My hole life you were there for me Christmases ,birthdays , not only were you my grandpa you were a fun loving understanding Friend I could always talk to play golf with I will miss you and love you so much I literally just talk to you on the phone asking when I was going to see you again you replayed really soon now I sit here wishing I was able to turn back time and give you one more hug rip grandpa love you and wish I could be there to say a few words I love you always your grandson Joshua

Karen, Donna Cheryl, I am deeply saddened and sorry for your loss. He was a very dear man whom Linnie and I adored. I will miss his positive energy, his stories and jokes. He was a great a kind and kind man . My love and prayers are being sent for healing.

May God grant you peace and a swift entrance into heaven. — Nephew Matt

Sending Prayers to each of you during this difficult time!

I am deeply saddened to hear of Betty's passing. She was one of the strongest people I have ever met. Over the years she was a true inspiration and great example of Faith. Many times I would confide in her and she always was able to let me know that God is the answer. She was truly a special individual and she has left a lasting impression on my life and many others that she touched. Robbie Isley

Betty was one of our Women of Hope for the Pardee Hospital Foundation. She was one of the First Ladies I met when I started working for the Foundation in 1998. She was a lovely lady who personified our Women of Hope of the Women Helping Women initiative. She will be missed greatly.

My deepest condolences to Donna's family. Donna was the very first attorney I worked with after moving to Orlando. I will always remember her tenacity when tackling anything. She lived life intentionally. Her warm and gentle spirit will be missed.

I can still visualize June and Hal dragging suitcases on an icy, snowbound, steep mountain lane in front of my home. They were headed off on another adventure.

Dear Sister, what a shock it has been. It still hasn’t sunk in. I love you and will miss you . I know we will be joined together again someday. I thank you for the great times and the best advice. Thank you for being the best big sis. Always in my heart ♥️.

I hope you and dad are together again and you are both pain free and living in paradise. We love you so much!

Jim, Lynn and family, you are in my prayers.

Lovely lady, beautiful voice, creative, committed to God and to her family

I was doing some ancestry research, and came across this beautiful tribute to a very talented women. I am Barry Hubbard of West Springfield Ma. My late grandfather, Robert H. Hubbard was brother to Rita's father. They were from Deerfield Ma. Sorry for your loss. I hope daughters and sons see my posting.

Gerri, Jean, Dee Dee, Jimmy, Very sorry to hear of Donn’s passing. You are in my thoughts.

The news about Donna came as a shock. I am sorry for your loss. I knew her from our book club. She brought energy, humor, and insight to our discussions and was a model of independent thinking and living. I will miss her presence.

I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a very dear friend when I knew her as an attorney and later in life as a great person. She certainly had a good life and she is now with Daryl, the love of her life❤️

RIP Mrs Ray. Prayers and supplications for Gilreath family.

RIP Mrs Ray . Heartfelt condolences for Gilreath family

Donna was a friend of mine since childhood and I’ll treasure that friendship always. She was the sweetest person and will be truly missed by me.

Dear Family We are so sorry to hear of Ms. Betty's passing, but we know she is rejoicing with her Savior. She was a special lady with a loving smile and caring Spirit. Our prayers are with all of you during this time. What A Meeting in the air.

Saying prayers of peace and comfort for Charles, Alice, Bryan and all the grandchildren. Betty was truly a lovely lady, always loving and sharing words of hope. There is sadness at her leaving us but joy in knowing exactly where she is, with her Savior.

Betty was a wonderful testimony for the Grace of Jesus Christ. She was a friend and and always had a smile. She will be missed. Please know that all the family remain in our prayers!

My sincere condolences for the loss of this lovely man. May God offer you comfort at this time of sadness.

It was a privilege to work with Mrs. Betty during S-A-T at WGCR. She was an encourager and always positive.

Mrs. Ray you will always be in my heart. I so enjoyed our time together, especially our singing hymns. I will see you again someday.

Alice and family, I am so sorry for your loss. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you with the fondest of memories to comfort you at this time. We LOVE YOU!

Charles and family, We are so sorry to hear about Betty passing away. She was the strongest and most courageous person that we have ever known. She fought a good fight and she kept the faith. She's no longer in pain or suffering. She made it home. Glory to God. We will be praying for all of you. God Bless.

I am so sorry Wayne. I remember how happy you was when she was born. The Love you had in your eyes for her just talking about her. God bless you friend. God can hung her for you daily now.

Henn Family, So sorry to read on the ACR class of 1973 Facebook page of one sweet, smart and smiling young lady, that I knew called Betty Yarborough had passed away. I saw her at a class picnic a year or two ago, and she still had that precious look and smile on her face and we had a good conversation, first time I had seen her since she graduated, now I know why, she has been one busy wife, mother, and grandmother and helping run a business, church worker, volunteer, you name it Betty was probably part of the group at Hooper's Creek. My prayers and sympathies for all of you. We all know she will have a new body and no more pain. Love in Christ, Ethel Jacobson, retired Librarian ACR High

Charles and family, we are so sad to hear this but so thankful for heaven. Betty was such a good friend to me all through our teenage years and I was in your wedding and she in ours. Charles, I'll never forget how much she loved you, even before you knew it!

Mary Jo’s family, So sorry for your loss. We worked with Harold and Mary Jo at GE., now they are together again. Cherish all the good memories you shared as a family. Sharon & Tommy King

Charles and family, I remember when my Daddy died our Mama didn’t know what she was going to do having never worked outside the home since they were married, but she came to you and you hired her on the spot. I will be eternally grateful for you helping her for the 20 years she worked for you. May God comfort each one of you. Betty was a sweet lady and will not be forgotten.

Charles, my deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones! Betty was such a beautiful person inside and out, she will truly be missed.

Charles, Alice, Bryan, Canissa, and to all of Betty's amazing grandchildren - we are praying for you all. Betty was such a loving and wonderful person and she will missed. She had a heart of gold and always had a smile and a positive attitude. She was a true example of a Christian Woman and she fought a good fight and finished well on this earth; but now her life begins. Thankful for God making us a way through his son Jesus Christ, Love and Prayers Steve and Michele King

I will miss my sis who took me on trips of my life time! I hope she's having the best trip of all! She'll be missed.

I remember hearing of her first cancer in middle school and seeing her in the stands after treatments at our basketball games. Always a Joy to see at church or plant farm. Prayers of King Jesus loving arms around this family during this time. He's welcomed one of his home saying a job well done!

Charles Alice & Bryan. My Love and Prayers are with each of you It has been a long time that Jimmy and Betty started this journey but they both are in the arms of God and healed of any pain. I am here for each of you.

Sending condolences to Mark's family. I am Neil's sister in law

Mrs. Corn was a real nice lady, we are praying for her family.

I had the honor of working with Don while at Thos. Shepherd and Son. Loved his stories and appreciated his advice how to fit in and work in Hendersonville as I looked to him as a very good resource. He was a true gentleman and knew the business well. Aaron he was very proud of you and all your work in the Navy as a Seal. He would always talk about you and we knew he was proud. I am saddened to hear of his passing as Don did get a second chance at life when I was working with him and he went thru the heart transplant. I also was with him when he lost his wife Paula ...,and although saddened and hurt...he somehow picked up the pieces and carried on for his family. The profession lost a good one! God Bless the Rummage family and may Don rest in peace and honor.

Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

Timmy was just a great, adventurous, wonderful son, father and brother Prayers for your family.

May Betty and all the family have the peace of knowing their loved one is in a better place, praying for the family.

Praying for family to have strength and peace in this hard times Love and bless all may the Lord be with you,

How nice she was to me and others Alice light will always shine.

We will miss Julia so much, she always sat behind us in church and anytime there was an event she was the first to volunteer to help. Her baking skills were amazing. We have lost a good friend, she will be missed by so many. Our prayers are with her family.

I'm glad we got be friends. I haven't talked to you in a while, but we made some pretty good memories! Sending my condolences to your family and friends. You will be missed!

Sending loving wishes to the entire family. Julia was a rock star. Her #NJStrong attitude in the face of cancer and all her health issues was admirable. We're all so fortunate to have known her. My prayers are with you all.

I’ve known Julia since the early days of her involvement with the motorcycling community. Words can’t express the our sadness of the passing of such a beautiful person. She was a friend of all who met her. I especially loved her adaptation to her South Carolina and North Carolina homes. After all, how can a North Jersey lady assimilate into southern culture without learning the peculiarities of the language? Julia did! North Jersey with a southern drawl. From Nancy and Doug Evans, we’ll miss you. To Gene and her loving Family our deepest condolences. God speed gentle lady.

We remember Timmie as a little boy. We danced in the rain to prove you wouldn’t catch a cold. In the years in between Tim became a man, a loving husband, and a good father, giving so much to be proud of and leaving behind the legacy of a beautiful family. No matter what our hope is, it hurts to be separated from the ones we love. We can choose to look at it this way: the last time we got to be with Tim is the longest time we will have to be separated from him. From now on we’re just counting down til we can be reunited. Much love to you all!

My heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time we love you

Love you all. ✝️

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

I loved you so very much. I miss you so much and I think about you every day. It is still very difficult for me to go on with my life without you, but I hold on to the hope that we will be together again in Heaven. I will love you always - Belinda

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Margee, You and Carl meant the world to me, so much, I considered the two of you as parents. I’m so glad your last days with Carl were filled with joy and love. Not many get that blessing before the love of their life passes on and I’m so glad I got to see Carl in his last days as happy as he always was. I miss his upbeat spirit and always positive attitude! I miss you terribly as well and I’m sad I don’t get to see you anymore. I hope I’ll see you out one day so I can give you a hug because no matter how bad things were, a hug from you could always make everything right in the world, even if it is only for that moment. Those are moments I cherish within my heart

See you over the rainbow, sweet Bella! Elaine, my sincerest condolences for the loss of your other half. I love you both dearly and I’ve missed you both since I left Dr. D’s.

God bless you Mary Brown! You were such a sweet lady - it was a pleasure working with you and getting to know you. RIP.

Jerri and I have a wonderful friendship when she used to live in cincinnati, ohio. I talked to her i think 4 or 5 months ago. Asking me how is her favorite star it is doing. I told her that I live on my own and that i am ok. She told me that she is very proud of me. That was the last time that she and i talked. She's been a wonderful friend and a beautiful woman that i will always cherish forever. I will miss her so much. Sending my condolences to tom and his family. Let me know if you all want anything or to talk. I'm here

I wrote "By Sweet Waters" as I drove to work in the mountains of Kentucky contemplating how much she loved her mountains, how much she loved Jesus, and how much she loved people. I imagined she would want us to think of her asleep, as in John 11:11, or walking with Jesus beside sweet waters, as in Psalm 23 and Revelation 22:1. I imagined her family kissing her eyes and singing a prayer over her. She always encouraged and inspired creativity, and I imagine her creating in heaven without limitations. Love you, Aunt Beth.

Rest and be happy Mom. I know you are still watching over all of us and will continue until we meet again. Thank you for all the kindness you brought to our lives. Thank you for all that you taught us. Thank you for being such a wonderful soul. I love you. Jennie

We shall meet again someday.

Praying for your family during this time

Prayers for this family in your time of loss, yet in a time of celebration for she has been found by our Lord. Be well, as you celebrate a wonderful life well lived and full. Prayers of comfort. Amen

We celebrate a life well lived. Ruth blessed those around her with her beautiful voice and presence. May GOD bring grant you peace.

A God-fearing woman and an amazing neighbor. Ruth always had a contagious smile and was a pleasure to talk with. She has left an impact on many lives and she will be missed deeply but we will see her soon. Rest in Jesus's arms Ruth. Prayers for all family members and friends in this difficult time.

Sending prayers for all of you during this difficult time!

I was so sad to hear about the loss of Teresa. I knew her when our boys were playing little league together in Fletcher and then in travel ball with the Smoke. She also had my son for English at West. Always smiling and loved watching her boys play ball. Such a sweet soul. Saying prayers for you Jonathan, Ross and Steven. I know she will be watching over all of you from heaven. May she Rest In Peace.

To the Davis family, please know that the lasting impact Teresa made on her students reaches far. We may graduate and move away physically, but our memories remain clear. "Ms. Smith" was more than my cheerleading coach, she was a friend and mentor. As an early career teacher, she was only 10 years older than us and we looked up to her personally and professionally. I am so grateful to have reconnected with her within the past few years. We were able to catch up at a recent reunion and I left with a few hugs. I am deeply sorry for this loss to her family and the entire WHHS community. All our prayers. Laura Alexander Page, class of 1996 Columbia, Missouri

Barbara you have a special place in my heart. Thank you for teaching me so much, especially to be a great mom.

One of the best teachers that West Henderson was blessed to have. I will never forget the times that I would walk by your room during class change , seeing you outside your room with this huge smile on your face. You were one amazing teacher and a wonderful person! We will see you again soon! ❤️

Mrs. Davis, you have left an amazing, positive impact on my life. From the time I first moved here all the way from Memphis, TN, you made me feel very welcome and like I was part of a big family at West Henderson. You never failed to brighten my day, whether it be a word of encouragement, a humorous remark, or even an inspiring phrase that would truly make me think. You always pushed me to become the best student that I could possibly be and have always helped me whenever I needed your help. Words cannot describe how much of an amazing teacher you were. As always, I'll remember to "carpe diem" or "seize the day". Thank you yet again for all that you've done for me.

The greatest gift you can give is to positively impact the life of a child. It sounds like you had an impact on many students. I am certain you will be missed.

You were a great friend. We got to know eachother at WCU. I moved away and when I came back to Asheville my son finished his senior year at West Henderson and who was there to welcome him. God's blessings to your family. I love you Teresa.

Mrs. Davis you truly inspired all of us to bed the best version of ourselves, even on days you felt the worst you went out of your way to care for us. You had a HUGE heart and never failed to light up my day with not only encouraging words on my work but helping me with other academic struggles the best you could. We will truly love and miss your smiley self forever. May you rest peacefully

Such a sad loss. What a great lady she watched my son through out his biy scout time and had both of my kids in english class at west. You will be forwver missed. Mr davis u and the boys r in our thoughts and prayers.

Helen, you are so loved and missed. You always put your family needs before your own. You were a very kind sis to me. You taught me to be kind and it's importance.

Great. Lady. Will. Be. Missed. By. All. Of. Her. Family. And. Friends. God. Bless. You. And. Your. Family. And. Friends

Thank you for our yoga session. It was amazing and subtle as You led your life this time around. An honor to have met you.

Rest In Peace, Aunt Kathy. I still remember one summer and you braiding all of us girls’ hair on the porch in Lafayette. Love you!

Rest in peace my sweet friend. No more pain or suffering. You’re running the streets of gold. No matter how bad you felt, you & brother Johnny made it to church to get filled up. We will surely miss you...until we meet again.

I love Beth. Have loved her for probably 45 years. Especially when she and Mike lived in Barker Heights, we shared the most wonderful times together as sisters in Christ. She was a part of one of the most special times of my life as a new Christian growing the knowledge and love of the Lord. All our "Mary Martha" Bible studies! All our after-church spontaneous "covered dish" dinners with other church friends like Dorothy and Guy, James and Sandy, and so many others who like Beth have passed through my life and left a sweet savor of God's Holy Spirit. All of us marveled at Mike and Beth's and Guy and Dorothy's salvation story and how the all ended up living down the street from me on Aycock Ave. I'm so glad the sisters had those years together. Dorothy, may your memories of that time comfort you as having been a loving gift from God that I hope will help support you during your sadness. God redeems the years the locusts have eaten. And I remember the laughter! Oh my! Beth always had a humourous animal anecdote to tell of some critter she had observed or something her dogs had done. My daughter BJ says she remembers Beth's laugh! Beth showed her adventurous side when she and I walked to town one day on the railroad tracks with Amber and BJ in backpacks! Hanging upon my wall is a special gift from Beth from 1994 - her painting of "A Large Place" from Psalm 18:19. Our loving Shepherd surely has guided Beth - and myself, and yea, all of his dear sheep - through the paths of our lives and led us into that large place. Praise his wonderful Name. My love and affection are with Mike, Amber, Leah, and the grandchildren. May God bless you as only he can during this time, and lead you into your large place. Love to you, now and always.

What a great inspiration Bernice was on our trip to the Holy Lands in 1985. (first time I has meet her) She sang on the buss as we visited different sights.

Bernice was a great inspiration on our trip to the Holy Land in 1985. First time I had meet her. She would have a song to sing on the buss as we went to different sights. What a precious lady.

To say she was and is loved is an understatement! We loved her spunk, her precious smile even when she didn't feel good, and her faithfulness to God and our church! Brother Johnny and Miss Barbra were beautiful sweethearts that was a testament for young married couples to follow and look up to! She will be missed and her absence will leave a huge hole in our lives as well as our church! We will see her again! We love you brother Johnny and we will be praying for you and your family!

I did not have the privilege to know Mrs. Barabara, My husband and I are in Mabel and Jimmie’s church family at Second Baptist. We wanted to extend our condolences to the family. I know that Mabel loves her sisters and brothers and her extended family so much. She never cease to pray and praise God for the work he does in her life and her family’s has well. Some day, we can rejoice and praise God for reuniting us with our loved ones. God bless, keeping you in our prayers.

Beth Nelson, A precious treasure. Mary Martha Circle Mamas always getting together to pray for their children, families, each other, singing together, counting their blessings 1 by 1 (Leah, Amber, and all the children...) Lifting each other up before the Lord in dark times, Praising the Lord in good times and always - a sacrifice of praise. training up children the way they should go... Psalm 118:5 I called upon the Lord in my distress: the Lord answered me and set me in a large place. I remember that being one of her verses that was special, I think from her first heart surgery? I remember she painted a picture of a large place regarding it. I thank God for Beth and you all Nelson family. You are my God and I will praise you: you are my God, I will exalt you. O, give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. Thank you God for Beth Nelson. See you soon sister

We loved Mrs. Barbara. She always smiled and waved at Skyler. May God Bless you Johnny and your family. She will truly be missed. Aaron Becky and Skyler Case

We have loved Sister Barbara and Brother Johnny several years while going to church with them. They both volunteered and Always did all they could do for GOD and our church, cleaning, cooking, serving, anything that was mentioned to be done, SIster Barbara and Brother Johnny always helped! Sis Barbara lived her life loving GOD and knowing HE had her Heavenly home prepared for her! We will remember her worshipping, and shouting, and praising GOD! And her kindness and sweet spirit, and even keeping us all on our toes at times. But everybody loved Sis Barbara, and will surely miss her, but her spirit and memories still live in our hearts! Thank you Sister Barbara Ellen Combs for loving us! Brother Johnny, and family,, we pray that GOD will give you HIS peace that passeth all understanding!

I remember Barbara of our years growing up together. Always looking forward to seeing her at the Roberts’s Reunions, and the food she brought was fabulous. One time she gave me a delicious and beautiful strawberry icebox pie to take home with me. She was such a wonderful cook and seem to enjoy it so much. She was such a good mother and loved her family so much. Rest in peace my amazing cousin. You hold a special spot in my heart.

So very sorry for your loss! This sweet woman meant so much to me and my family I've known her for a long time now and we always had a great relationship! She never failed to call my daughter China doll and my son Elvis! We love and miss her very much! Prayers for the family!

we saw miss Barbara about two weeks ago at her church. So glad to be able to tell her how much we loved her. Bro Johnny and Miss Barbara very special Christian friends. praying for the family

We remember the big smiles she always had..the hugs she always give us..how she was a people person

I will always remember her great hugs at all family events..Her Italian Creme Cake was my favorite dessert..I'm thankful God blessed me with a loving, witty, beautiful Aunt who was a true lady. I will miss you until I see you again.. I Kno you are happy to be with Jesus, Grandma, Papa, Frank Lee and Billy....

I am only now learning of Wendy's passing. Iris and I send our deepest belated sympathies to you, Dick. Warm and fond thoughts of you and Wendy always.

My time with Jerri was short, only the few years she and Tom lived nextdoor to me in Hendersoville. I enjoyed our visits, especially in the afternoons when Tom poured us each a glass of wine. She was a special person and one I’ll miss. I wish I could have had more time with her. The last months were difficult and it’s a comfort knowing she is at peace.

Jerri Russell

Joan, I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family, and all that loved him

Your prayer has always supported me. Now I miss your prayer support. I'll miss you. Rest in peace.

Dear Mike and Family: I was so very sorry to learn of Beth's passing. She stood behind me at Mud Creek in the choir and was such a joy to be around. So many things were beautiful about Beth, but a memory that comes to mind is the Easter Pageant where we were all on stage as Beth approached Jesus weeping when He had been brought down from the cross. She touched the depths of my soul, and I am sure she did many others. What a treasure! Heaven continues to get sweeter as our loved ones move on to see our blessed Savior, and praise the Lord, Beth is healed. What a time she must be having! May God bless you during this time, and keep you in His Hands with loving care. She will always be remembered. Much love,

Mary Ann, I’m just stunned and saddened to see of your dad’s passing. I was so fortunate to spend some time with him and your mom at your mountain cabin years ago. What a great man!! Much love to you, John, your girls, brother and your mother.

Sheri and I convey our warmest thoughts and prayers with Harold's family. He was truly a good man that I am proud to have known and worked with. Lot of great memories working on his team in the Nut House!

Your light and love will live on eternally. Rest in peace, dear sister. Much love... Evelyn

I only know Denise from the wonderful things Donna said about her Sister. The one thing that stands , out in my mind , is the tenacity Denise had in dealing with everything that was thrown at her in life. Also, I am so happy that Donna & Denise had the recent opportunity to spend some quality time together. My prayers that she is finally in peace and free of suffering.

Even though we are far apart, you will always be in my heart, Denise. We had many happy times together.

Pat and family in my thoughts and prayers. Went to church with Tommy and Pat and called them by first names. Then i had Tommy for my science teacher and it didn't seem right saying Mr. Fisher. I told him i would just raise my hand when I needed help rather than saying his name. I served the teachers their lunch and he said I could not call him Mr. Fisher if i made sure he had two corner pieces of cornbread on his plate. Sometimes he had the third pieces.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Aunt Becky, Deanna and Melody

What a lovely Lady. I remember her thru my childhood and how she would praise the Lord. It was always a joy to see her. God bless the memory of such a sweet Lady.

I am very sorry to hear of Chuck's passing.

We loved Mary. Bud thought the world of Hubert , Mary , Steve , Greg , his Uncle Walter and Aunt Edna. Sorry we were not able to attend services. May God comfort the family.

I could not have had a better friend than Tom Fisher. He was quick to generously provide me, a stranger, space to garden in his very, very productive growing area and later a separate space of my own. Over the next 25 or so years Tom gave me an amazing variety and amount of gardening materials. (l hardly ever left his summer garden without produce.) He repaired equipment for me and made supports for bean trellis. (I could go on and on…) But most of all, I enjoyed and appreciated than our many, many garden walks and carport and home visits. We had serious and irreconcilable differences. We could never agree on the best varieties of lima beans and sweet corn, or on the right size for a digging fork! Tom was a doer, and believed in personal effort (having “grit” as he described it) and spoke with pride of his family’s achievements---I remember home building and cabinetry in particular---and their closeness to him. I hope Tom has found a new place of health and happiness where he can praise his Savior, tend another great garden, and enjoy friends in his carport. Our deeply felt condolences go to Pat and all his family.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers Barbara.

We were blessed to have JoAnn as our first realtor contact. I remember vividly her patience and guidance for a woefully unprepared young couple. She measured success not by dollars or sales, rather by the people she helped along the way. Our sincere condolences to her wonderful family, May God give you comfort and peace.

What a life you have lived. Listening to stories from family is just worthy of pulling a chair up for. R.I.P.

Roger thank you for being my step father & raising me since i was 5 yrs. Old & being a great grandfather for my son Billy he really enjoyed the miniature horses and birds and anatolian puppies. I will never forget everything you taught me. Got my husband a cabinet job in 1983 & built our first house that me and my husband lived in for 13 yrs. On 23rd. Ave & cactus And now my husband is a general contractor building custom homes. So many cherished memories i will never forget. Love you may your spirit be with me. I will never forget how you made our family whole & Happy

Tia vamos a extrañar tu sonrisa, tu alegría y tu comida. Te amo mucho . Descansa en paz -Katis

Tia vamos a extrañar más tu alegría , tu sonrías y tu comida . Te amo mucho . Descansa en paz. -Katis

Sending prayers and condolences everyone’s way

Jeff, we were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. We send you our love and prayers.

Steve and Bob, My thoughts and prayers are with your family in the loss of your mother. As my dear neighbor at Country Ridge, she became my special “Mrs. Alice”. It was always a delight to listen as she shared activities of her grandchildren or lamented mobility and pain limitations. When we were in NC she often brought over cookies. She was a mother figure - but even more a friend. After she moved, I shared treats and occasional flowers. I couldn’t see her last February but left flowers and love. Please cherish your memories of a precious lady.

Carolyn,please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Love, Joyce

Barbara & Family - We are thinking of you. Bruce & Wanda Caldwell

To Jeff and Family: Your company has assisted me on several real estate transactions over the years. I always knew it was in good hands professionally with you folks.

Mary has been a dear friend to me for many many years. But she is in a much better place today. The whole family has always seemed like a part of my family.

I have such wonderful childhood memories of all of us together. My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you. Love Melanie

Although we have only known Walter a short time, 2 years, we quickly grew to love him! We first saw him walking their sweet dog Dixie! We loved watching him let Dixie do “zombies” at the condo park! Walt was always kind, very intelligent and a great sense of humor! He was a wonderful man and an awesome friend! We will miss him so much!

I just became aware of Cline's passing. My deepest sympathy to you and your family

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved, Walter.God will walk beside him now and keep him in his loving arms.

So many fun times together over the years,,going to school together,, the many times we have visited in each other’s homes,,,what beautiful memories we have! With love to you Martha and your beautiful family,

We will always cherish our warm and happy friendship with George and Martha. George and I shared many exciting flying stories, both being ‘brothers of the cloth’, former military fighter pilots. We flew the hottest machines in the world. It was a special treat and privilege for us to go flying together on a visit to San Diego. I fondly remember the time we were visiting Flat Rock and rendezvoused with him for breakfast at a local cafe where he could be found every morning after his daily hikes. There he was, holding court as usual, regaling admirers with sage pronouncements. I shouted across the room, “Are there any fighter pilots in here?” I triggered a conditioned response and as he began to rise, I shrugged my shoulders, turning away as he futilely waved, and said loudly, “Guess not!” Blue skies, George! With our sincerest condolences to Martha and the Wells Family, Howard and Carroll Young

So very sorry, Joan! Prayers sent for you and your family at this difficult time.

I was sorry to hear of Velma's passing. She was a thorough, available, and "on-task" helper at the church as a volunteer. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. John at this time.

My condolences to my family. Im here if you need me. We shall meet this sweet soul 1 day in heaven....

I work with Dave for 30 + years and it feels like I have lost a brother and buddy. He was always there for me plus many fun times together. Yes I am the one that is six months older.

Dearest Pat, I have been inspired by Tom and his border Collies from the first time I saw them in the pasture running and happily exploring the meadow ....Then we met and were so happy to work with both of you with selecting our Tiller and later our Flick who is still a member of our family. You and Tom have been a meaningful part of our love of living here in Flat rock for the last 20 years as your neighbors. Tom and his beautiful farm inspired me to write my children's book...and I am so satisfied to know from you that he liked it. , With love and sympathy from Mike and me on your great loss. but know that we really truly loved your dear husband and admired all that he accomplished in his amazing career. Joanie and Mike Covell

So very sorry for your loss Joan. Sending love to your family.

Tom was a great breeder of border collies and sheep, a great teacher of herding, and a loyal friend. He will be missed by all who were mentored by him and the schools of Hendersonville. He lived a full life devoted by his loving wife, Pat. Our neighborhood lost a faithful friend in Tom.

I loved working with Dave and Eva. Dave was my daughter's (Jill Halleckson) work father and looked after her for years. He was a special, special man. Sigh

May God strengthen and comfort the family and friends of Ms. Velma. Psalms 23

Many fond but distant memories. We went with Wes and Martha and the kids to Six Flags. Wes took the kids on a spin ride just to get them situated, and Martha had them shut the door and start the ride. We know Wes will be greatly missed and our prayers are with you.

Pam, Wes, Jody, Jess, our prayers for all of the family. He was such a special Person.

Martha Ann. My sincere deepest sympathy to you, your daughters, and family. Loved the great times we had together As cousins all those years ago. Cline was an awesome person and loved to listen to his many interesting stories. Enjoyed my visits.with you both. Take care and God Bless you and your family.

Wes and I worked together for ten years at Southern Bell. He was a dear friend and a kind and gentle man. He will be missed by all those who knew and loved him. He is in a better place where he is reunited with loved ones.

So very sorry to hear of Kristy’s passing! She was a good soul and I can only hope she is now resting in absolute peace! Prayers go out for Barbara and little Hartley! Rest In Peace friend.

Dear Shane & family, So sorry for your loss. Your dad was special & I’m sure you must be just like your dad.. a fine man, & a wonderful son, & a Christian. You had to learn that somewhere. I have no words to ease your pain, but God will.. Lean on Him now & not unto your own understanding. My prayers are with you, & I’m here if you need to talk..

Had fun times and a lot of laughs with the Cessna Aircraft gang at the Crazy Horse. They sure kept us girls that worked there hopping. So glad I got to know you and your dad Nicol. May he rest in peace. Hugs to you and your family! Now excuse me while I go pop a top and step back in time for a bit.

Rosie, Shane, Danna. I was so sorry to hear about Steve. He was a fun classmate at West. Delirious

Mr. Fisher was one of my teachers at East Henderson. He also sold our family two of the best Border Collies, Buddy a real working cow dog that passed away at the age of 13 and Cody that's still here at the age of 15. Cody was my son's Christmas gift and Mr. Fisher allowed him the pick of the litter. That was a special treat.

Velma was a gentle, kind lady who was always ready to help others. Anne and I got to know her during her time at First Baptist. She was the prayer leader for our Sunday school group and sang in the choir, as well working as an assistant to Pastor Liner (at the time). Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Wes Davis, truly a wonderful Christian friend. You will be missed by so many . I remember you calling and singing Happy Birthday to me, wishing Hal and I Happy Anniversary on our 63rd Anniversary. You just did so much for so many. Certainly you used your talents. You claimed that Hal was your favorite Marine. How special that made him feel. I can hear you now laughing and talking after Church on Sunday's. You will not be forgotten. We are happy that you are in the arms of the Lord. No more pain and discomfort. We will meet again soon, very soon. Martha, we are praying for you and the family. Wes loved the Lord , he meant so much to so many and he loved you dearly .A wonderful Christian couple. Thank you for sharing him with our amazing Church family.

Steve was bigger than life! He always made me smile. Not a day hardly goes by that I don’t quote a “Steve Blackwell saying”...He will be missed. My love to my sister Rosie and the family...

My thoughts and prayers are with you Shane and your family. May God surround you with his comfort and love at this time. Sincerely Charlotte McClanahan and Kathy Justus

Pat I am so sorry to learn this. I just want you to know that you are in my heart and prayers.

Love and prayers to the family! Steve was one of a kind!

James Erwin of Wichita Ks worked with David at Cessna in the early 80s. David was the best Lead Man that I ever worked for. He knew his stuff and could give great guidance.

My husband and I were so grateful to have met George through his beloved granddaughter (and third generation pilot) Joy. Though our time with him was short, he was full of life and laughter. My memory of him will be as a loving grandpa and great grandpa who loved to stay active and to share memories from his life. Our heart goes out to the family, Martha, Karen, and Sharon especially. Love you all!

Though my time with Cline was sadly limited, from sporadic gatherings to those cherished Wells Family reunions, I will always remember his warm and inviting demeanor; his sense of humor and wonderful laughter; his generous spirit; and his devotion to his dedicated family. He will be greatly missed by a lifetime of friends and relatives, far too broad and numerous to mention here. Thank you for your indelible mark on my life, Cline, and I only wish I could witness you soaring higher than even you ever dreamed. Enjoy the best of family reunions, and give my Dad all our love. Godspeed, Cline, and farewell.

I love this picture! The expression on his face shows the true Wes. Though he did everything with such dedication, there was also an air of mischievousness about him. I remember his laugh. But above all else he will be remembered for his obedience and faithfulness to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sending hugs and prayers to Martha and the entire family.

Jade was our apartment cleaner at Carolina Village and always did an excellent job. She was dependable, personable, and friendly. We miss her very much and will always remember her. Our sincere condolences go out to all her family and friends.

We are so terribly sorry about Jade. She was a very good and dependable worker here at Carolina Village and was so friendly. We miss her a great deal. Our condolences to all the family and to her friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow

We are sorry to hear of David's passing. Everytime he came to our office, he had a great attitude about life! We will miss seeing him.

God is within her, she will not fall Psalm 46:5

May the many happy memories of Dave be a shining light for the Newell family at this sad time. I had the privilege of working with Dave for several years before our retirements. Dave, RIP and if you bump into Marvin, tell him Mac says hello

As soon as you enter our home, you see my favorite photograph. It's of my mother Nena and her older brother Navio standing with their mother Esther in Italy before departing for America. Says it all: Proud. Serious. Brave. Did I mention great-looking?! We are so very proud of our heritage and send our best love to all of Navio's and Saundra's familia. (Nena introduced Uncle Rap to Aunt Sunny. She awaits them with love.) Bless their journeys. Bless all of you. xoKari Nevil-Brown, Scott and Bella. xoxo

Bernice What a friend we had in Jesus and what a friend He gave me in you! We became friends as new widows and it was such a comfort to share our thoughts, tears, time and memories. We learned to move ahead finding that God had plans for us. You reached out to other widows and started the glory girls luncheons. We learned to laugh and enjoy so many things with a wonderful ever growing group of special ladies. We enjoyed the farmers daughter trip and thanks to Cathy we made it to the Barter theater. You loved serving Him at Biltmore and at MRLEC. Yes, you touched so many lives for good and for Jesus! I know Kim and Tim will be comforted knowing many grieve with them and pray for them.I truly miss you ! Linda

Praying for the family.

I miss you so much already!! I'm heartbroken and shocked that the day before we are laughing and cutting up while finishing up your house and the next day your just gone......Joe, I'm so sorry, I know she was your world, and you hers!! If you need anything let me know!! Kristy you are truly missed already....I love you girl!! See you again one day!!

You were kind and through Tonya I was privileged to have spent some time visiting with you. May the angels of heaven welcome you home where there is only happiness no more pain and only love abides. You have touched many lives and will be missed.

Dear Barbara and Hartlee We are so very sorry for your loss, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with each of you and all of your family.

Kristy was a dear friend I loved her and will miss her we had a lot of good times together including Hartley dale Barbara and Joe I want all of you to know that I am very sorry for your loss I love you guys I'm here for you if you all need me love thanks and sorry Greg worley .

Prayers to Barbara, Dale and her daughter and the family. I worked with Kristy for many years in the hair business and I have so many great memories of Kristy and learned so much from her doing hair , she will be missed. Prayers to all❤️

Truly a 20 year friendship we enjoyed. I could be living out of state and/or 2 or 3 years go by without being in touch and drive up in her driveway to find that same Kristy welcoming me home and it was if our friendship never missed a moment in time. I felt very privileged to be her friend she didnt consider many to be her friend. I have shared many tears, many smiles and many good times with Kristy and although my heart aches right now with the loss of my dear friend, I know we will meet again and until then...I will miss you very much Kristy.

RIP, Kristy. I am so sorry you had to leave so soon.

Deepest sympathy to the Justus family. I will miss Glenda at Universal Health Care. Glenda was my sister’s roommate at Universal. I spent many hours there with her and my sister before Covid . We sang lots of hymns together and many times I took Glenda to the dining room where she amazed me with her gift of playing the piano. My family has recently been able to visit my sister in a separate area from their room. But we’re not able to see Glenda. My sister is heart broken as we all are. We all loved Glenda and thought of her as family. Sympathy and prayers to all of the family. I have wonderful memories of Glenda and my sister. We had so much fun. And watching the Atlanta Braves.

RIP Kristy..We had some fun times when we worked together at Ingles. You always be in my heart.

So sorry to learn of Mrs. Justus's passing. My sister, Marie, was her roommate until she passed away September 2018. We dearly loved her!! She was always cheerful and such a joy to visit with. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Patrick was always a great cousin, he spent a lot of time with me and my sister when he visited with us. He will always be missed. As we grew into adults and our lives became separated I always had him in my heart as I always will have him in my heart. Watching Football together San Fran against Dallas! Love always,

Guy Wellman was my baseball coach at Downers Grove High School in 1957. He bought a home in the neighborhood I lived in. I am sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great coach and mentor to young people.

To my niece Nicol and David siblings, may all your great memories give you comfort during this time. David was a big part of my childhood into my adult life. I will remember him always for his teasing ways. I still remember the wrestling matches he would have with myself and my siblings, "Eat the Dirt". So until we meet again in a better place, "Hold on to her newt, we're headed for the buck wheat!"

To my niece Nicol and David's siblings May all the great memories give you comfort during this time. David was a part of my childhood and adult life for a long time, and was always a teasing friend. When I was a child, I can remember the wrestling and goofy things he would do to myself and my siblings. such as "Eat the dirt". So until we meet again in a better place to quote you "Hold on to her Newt, we're headed for the buck wheat!"

My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to Rev. Rymer and their many friends. I have known them for many years during their many years at First Baptist Church. Miss Velma was a long time fixture at the church as a secretary/administrative assistant and a faithful choir member. She is healed and rejoicing in Heaven in the presence of the Lord and singing in the Heavenly Choir.

Kristy you brought so much light into this world. Hartlee and everyone around you loved you so much. Taken way to soon but now you can dance with Lexie and paint the sky for your amazing family and especially my amazing Hartlee. I love you guys dearly!

We would talk about an she was my friend no matter what we would laugh until we would cry I miss you so much

We could talk about anything we would laugh until we ceryed I miss her so much

Gail joined the Hendersonville Kennel Club in October 1999 and was with us for fifteen years. She served as a club officer for most of her tenure. One of my fondest memories was when Gail handed me a steaming hot cup of coffee. The HKC was hosting a "Parade of Breeds" in front of the Courthouse on Main Street. It was a bitterly cold day - My teeth stopped chattering. David, you were the best secretary a past president ever had. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. Glenda was a sweet lady and. I treasure the friendship.

Beautiful lady, Condolences to her family.

So sorry to hear about Glenda. Love and prayers for you all.

My fondest memories of Mrs. Justus was helping her take care of her sweet dogs at the vet office. She always made me smile! Prayers for all the family!

I never met Mrs. Justus but I have heard what a great lady she was. Working at Justus orchard and meeting her family she instilled so much love in them to others and the apple business. I have felt their love towards me and others. She was loved dearly my so many and her legacy will live on for many years to come. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Deepest sympathies to Linda and the entire Owens family. Prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of need. Let your memories comfort you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jade, but I know my nephew Jordan truly loved her. My heart breaks for him and for Jade's family and friends. God be with you all in your time of grief.

If you need ANYTHING, Im just a phone call away. I love you and am here for you always.

I know you loved your children monica with all your heart and soul.My heart and prayers go out to you at this time

Bobby and Ruth Tuttle are two of my all time favorite patients. Bobby was outgoing, sincere, enjoyed what life presented him with, and had great humor. When I saw them on my office or procedure schedule, I knew it would be a great day. The picture selected for his obituary matches exactly my minds eye picture of him. Ruth, I am so sorry for your loss of Bobby, but you will reunite again. He was a special man to me. Dr. Richard Smith, Asheville Gastroenterology Associates

I mey Garu and Vicki through a mutual UPS friend. He was an outstanding individual and a great partner. God rest his soul and the best to Vicki and their family.

I met Gary and Vicki through a UPS friend. He was an outstanding individual and partner. Rest his soul and the best to Vicki and their family.

I new Gail as a dedicated breeder/owner of her beloved Norfolk Terriers and as well as respected leader of the Hendersonville Kennel Club. She was always kind, considerate, organized and a voice of reason working to improve the club and its mission while always advocating for our canine companions. She will be missed.

Mr. Tuttle was a wonderful man to know and call a friend. We had a lot of fun telling stories at the Wed. night dinners at Fruitland Babtist church. RIP old friend.

To a good friend we wil miss you God bless your family .

Rest in peace Malachi

Sorry for your lost

May you always feel the presence of God as He leads you through your many tomorrows. Remember the smiles, Cherish the moments, Find comfort in memories.

Bernice and my mom worked together for years at Sears. They remained dear friends up to mom’s death in 2010. Bernice stayed in touch and remained dear to me. She was truly a precious person and it was an honor to know her.

Earl rip my friend. You fought a good fight. But you are pain free. What I remember about Earl his smile and willingness to always help and a good listener. Prayers for his sweet wife and his family.

Prayers for you Monica

Blessed to have known Gail over the past few years . Her infectious smile and wonderful stories she told will be the memories that I fondly recall when I think of her. God Bless & Comfort the Family!

Jade, You always made my dining experience at Carolina Village delightful with your sunny smile, your energy, and your desire to be the best. Having a meal at CV will never be quite the same. You'll be missed so very much.

Jade was a ray of sunshine to residents in her service to us in the Dining Room here at Carolina Village. She was always pleasant, caring and efficient and a joy to so many. Jade had a bright future and we miss her deeply. My prayers and condolences to Jade’s family for this great loss.

Jade was so loved by all the residents of Carolina village. She will be sorely missed. Our payers are for the entire family to find a way to deal with her loss

Dear sweet Jade, There are too many memories to count with you. So many experiences and adventures we went on that no one knew about, we just lived in the moment together. You were more than my best friend, you were my family and my love. you knew how to make me laugh, you knew when to hold my hand and love me through the tough times. You are OH SO BEAUTIFUL and I was always trying to be like you. I was jealous. You always told me you wanted my life and I always wanted yours. Now I still want yours. I want to be with you, hold you, and never let you go. Thank you for loving me and showing me the light through the tunnel. I know you’re shining down on us, smiling. ❤️ I love you forever and always. Fly high babygirl... until next time.

Steve, Danny and David, I am so sorry to learn of Tim's passing. He was a fine man and will be missed by so many. Please know you are all in my prayers.

So sorry for the loss of Bob...We had good memories with Ruth and Bob at the Elks and American Legion dances...He had a wonderful voice and we enjoyed his singing..and getting together at Gail and Buds having fish frys.... Bob loved all the fellowship..God Bless Ruth as I know she will greatly miss her partner in Her life but God has him now Bless All The Tuttle Family

Monica and Sydney you are in My prayers. I love you and are here if you need someone to talk too.

Not long after moving back to Hendersonville in 2004, I met Bob at the American Legion. He would sit in and sing with me. Bob was truly one of the finest people I've ever met, and was always a joy to be around. I'll miss you, Bob.

I sure did think the world of Tim. He was such a kind and loving Christian Man . He was always so very kind and had such a beautiful smile on his face. I will see him again in Beautiful Heaven .

jade, you were the most sweetest person i met and you were one of the firsts one i talked to when i started at carolina village. i love you jade and thank you for training me so i can do the best of my abilities. i looked up to you for everything. thank you for being there for me when i needed someone to talk to and i love you and your sister so much. you were always happy and smiling. you had a beautiful smile. you will be missed by so many people in this world but we will always remember you jade!

Bernice was one of a kind! She was a dear special friend to me! She always had a hug and a big smile! We were both in Ingles after a visit with the same dermatologist. We laughed at each other and accuse the other of frying chicken livers because we each had the little brown blisters on our face! I loved Bernice and she will be greatly missed.

Bob was special, someone you were glad to know and see again. First met Bob in 1961 in Burlington, on the dock at the Operating Center of Duke Power. I was a new hire for Duke and I believe I heard Bob and saw him before I learned he was a Foreman with LW Routh Line Contractors. While most in the morning were quiet, Bob was greeting everyone, calling out names and hi you doing to all. Bob learned who I was sooner than I learned who Bob was. He was always friendly, warm, entertaining, and sincere in our conversations.. Bob's work was hard and heavy, before air tools and hydraulics, tough labor work, and Bob was good at it. You came to admire those that could do the work and looked to those like Bob who excelled with great respect. Through the years I always felt lifted up when I encountered Bob and his enthusiasm and positive outlook, cheerfulness to the core. It was good to have Bob in your life.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Tim, but his wonderful parents were very kind to me as a growing youngster! Tim and his family are fondly remembered and have our deepest sympathy in this loss!

May all the family be blessed with God's peace and comfort. Always will remember Bob's singing in church and his strong Christian witness years ago when he was climbing poles for Duke. He will be missed.

Growing up with Mrs. Owens as my second mom was amazing! She taught me many important things like how to speak with a New England accent and that Flav-R-Ice was a medicine that fixed everything from hurt feelings to cut knees or chicken pox. I have the greatest, fond, fun and loving memories of her. She would always let Linda and I ride backward in the big station wagon.....with the window down!! I can picture how she always sat so tall with her feet together, and a small smile always on her face. She would laugh out loud with....or maybe at (?) Linda and I! She would always smile and comment when Daisy would lay in my lap because she said she didn't do that with too many people. And, she let us write all over the walls before they were wallpapered!! She and my mom were great friends. The world is a much dimmer place without her in it.......BUT....imagine how heaven lit up when she showed up! Mr. Owens, Linda and Tommy....I love you guys and you will always mean so much to me. I am so sorry that you have lost your matriarch, but am also so happy that you had her all those years. What memories!

Bob was one of a kind and I shared some good times with he and his family over the years indeed. My sincerest condolences to the Tuttle family along with my prayers going out to the family to ease the sorrow in the loss of the husband to Ruth, along with being a father, a grandfather, and friend to many who loved life and his family and friends to the utmost. He will be missed but not forgotten.

We never had the pleasure of meeting you, but your Grandma Judy and Grandpa Elwood are extra special friends of ours. We know you are in heaven now, and at peace. You, and your family are in our prayers, and have our deepest sympathy.

Tuttle family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob was one of a kind and will be missed.

Monica and family, our hearts break for you and your family. Y'all are in our thoughts and our prayers. May God hold you close and comfort you.

Prayers of comfort for your family. I pray the Lord will comfort all of you and be close to you.

In my prayers ❤ My condolences

Dear Jade, Thank you for all of the smiles and laughs. I wish that you had had more time here with all of us and that you could have blessed the world with your smiles, kindness, and humor for a much longer time than you were given. Out of all of the people I have worked with over the years, you were one of my favorite people to work with. You actually wanted to get to know me and we had a lot of good conversations. On days when I was feeling anxious and sad at work, you were able to bring a smile on my face when no one else knew that I was feeling anything other than happy. We had conversations about our lives and futures and how you really wanted to go back to college. I was very happy when I found out that you were going to get to go back to school like you wanted for so long. I can't believe that you are gone and it makes me sad that we won't be able to see you again for a while. :( I wish I had gotten to know you outside of work more and spend time with you. I love you so much girl and thank you for being a blessing in everyone's life. We miss you!! I know you're watching over us now❤ Rest in peace

After meeting in high school and being close friends for 6 years, Jade and I got to do a lot of things together. To name a few; Laundry Mat Photoshoot, Monica's breast cancer party at Bold Rock, Filming youtube videos, random drives around town, going to tattoo shops together, I went with her to get more ear piercings, going to her dad's house to look at his Camaro, going to target to get matching Stranger Things keychains, going to chipotle, she introduced me to a new drink at starbucks a couple of summers ago. She loved it but I hated it, lol! It was the Mango Dragonfruit Acai Refresher. We've done so so much more and I cherish it all. We talked every other day and always made sure each others mental health was good. I had talked to her two days before she passed away. She wanted me to come over to help decorate her new apartment with that she had just moved into with Jordan. I never thought that would be the last time I spoke to her but I'm glad that we had that conversation. It'll remain dear to my heart and I will forever celebrate the life of her. Monica & Sydney- I pray for you guys everyday and hope that Jesus will continue to rest his hands over you and heal the hurt that you guys are feeling. Rest In Paradise Jade, until we meet again. <3

So sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss. Prayers to you & family

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts & prayers for you and family ❤️

Matthew, Deborah and families, I have known Caroline (and Steve) for many, many years at first as a designer to renovate the cabin and then as friends. Every time they would visit Hendersonville from Maryland, we would get together for lunch to catch up. When Caroline moved to Hendersonville permanently, we had the opportunity to reconnect on a more regular basis. However, the pandemic intervened. I am so very sad to hear of her passing. She was always uplifting and joyful and always interested in others. I will miss her immensely. I hope her memories will sustain you in this tough time.

I am so sorry to hear about Caroline's passing. Although I did not know her long, she was a valued attender at our Carolina Village Quaker worship group. Sending condolences and Light to all the family.

Dearest Nancy,Tony,and families, I’m so sorry for your loss.Bob was a wonderful man and friend.I remember how he teased and just how much love and friendship he showed myself and family.He was wonderful man.I’m so sorry for your loss.Just know my love and prayers are coming to you in your time of loss though miles away.God Bless you all and hold you in His ever loving arms

Me and her were in the same home room in high school when I first transferred there and she was so nice and welcoming. She was also funny. When I first got to the school o didn’t talk much but she would always talk to me. There is no doubt in my mind that God wanted her back because he missed her!

My first grade best friend. The last time I seen you was last summer at Chili’s, we talked and laughed like we never lost touch. I’ll never forget that. Rest In Peace, beautiful Jade. I know you & Lex are having the best time in Heaven ❤️

4/15/2021: Dearest Matthew and Veronica, and Deborah and Nick, and Patrick, Sofia, Seamus, Liam, Jeremy, Caleb, and Nina, we send our deepest sympathy to you all during this very difficult time of great sadness for your family. We dearly loved Caroline and were blessed by her friendship for over 50 years. We are so very thankful that we were able to visit her at her new home in Carolina Village just before COVID and once again a few days before she passed. We have so many wonderful memories of our lives together before children and later with children. A friendship filled with much joy and fellowship. It's been a blessing for us to have known the Steve and Caroline McNamara family and we are so thankful to have shared so may family joys together. Please know that we feel your pain in losing Caroline to this life and we send our love now and always. Once again, we dearly love you all and are in prayer for your family. In loving sympathy, s/ John and Coleen Harlow Dillon SC

This past Sunday, April 11, at the end of our 11:00am worship at Edneyville United Methodist Church, Bob and Ruth were sitting in the pew right behind me right up front. Immediately following the closing hymn Bob went immediately to the front to talk with Sandra, our pianist, and then to Pastor Dana! Always greeting and complementing them for the music and the sermon! What a great man of God he was.

Bernice was the nicest lady. I shared so many sweet times and a lot of laughs with her.

Thinking of the family, sending you all warm wishes and hugs..to Steve, Danny and David, much love to you. My life was blessed by knowing each of you. XO

So many memories of Tim, my dear friend from first grade. Your light will be missed

We loved Bernice. She was an adopted member of our family. A truer friend to my parents you would find. Bernice will certainly be missed by our Brown/Conley family. She will always have a special place in our hearts. RIP, sweet lady. Kathy Conley

A nicer person has never been on this earth. RIP Bernice

Jade was so loved at Carolina Village! We pray for God's comfort for her family.

W

This picture is exactly how I shall always remember Caroline; full of life and excited to do everything. She and I shared some very nice moments and I was so looking forward to her being in the cabin this summer. Caroline was the heart and soul of our little group on Evans Road and will be missed terribly. I am very sad to lose Caroline, as I am sure everyone is.

We are so sorry to learn of Tim’s untimely passing. He certainly fought the good fight on this earth during his life . We always counted him as a friend since all the way back to the eighth grade. May God comfort the family now and in the future.

The Triplets...I loved seeing pictures of Monica, Jade and Sydney ..I always commented on how much they all looked alike...all so beautiful...my heart breaks for sweet Monica who has been through so much and has thanked God all along the way for His touch and answered prayer, yet is called on to deal with this heartbreak...May Gods be close and comforting and May you know hundreds are praying for this beautiful family...send loving thoughts to you all!

We remember you fondly with your work at Carolina Village. You were always so very kind to us. Rest in Peace sweet girl.

I just have no words that are sufficient for this kind of loss. To see your sweet Jade and my sweet Lex standing together in the West Spirit Week picture here.....breaks my heart. Two beautiful, beautiful souls. I remember Lex talking about her friend Jade. Love and prayers to all who mourn this indescribable loss. "It's not goodbye....it's until next time." Lexie's Mama

Jade was one of my best friends in high school. She always knew how to put a smile on my face and any one she was around. I have a ton of memories with her so it is hard to think of one. However, one of my favorites is eating on Main Street Hendersonville with her and her mother Monica. In a day full of technology Jade was living in the moment and she didn’t touch her phone at all while we were there which really touched my heart because she cared about talking with me and her mom. My second favorite memory is going to the fair with her in 2018. We cut up, laughed, rode rides and ate food and had a blast! I always remember holding hands with her and listening to her crazy party music. We had theater class together which is where we really connected and also ate lunch together daily. I love you Jade and you will be missed dearly.

I had Jade as a student at BRCC and she was a kind and lovely person. You have my condolences as I am deeply saddened by this loss of such a bright and caring young woman.

I knew Caroline only during her last four years, as a neighbor just down Evans Road from her beloved family cabin. Such a lovely and friendly lady, dealing with life's challenges gracefully. It was my pleasure to help her out once in a while with this or that in the neighborhood. I would plow open her driveway after a winter storm or cut up a tree that had fallen across it, even if she were not there because she was a jewel in our midst who inspired the best in us.

I hadn’t spoken to you since high school but I still remember sitting at a lunch table with you and when you would come sit and chat with me in the car rider line. You were a sweet girl who could turn any stranger into a friend. Rest in Paradise Jade❤️

We only knew Jade because she visited us one year while visiting her good friend, Grace, in Chesterfield, VA. Even for the week she visited, it was obvious Jade was one of the most bubbly and warm people we’d met before. We watched Batman together and normal teenage shenanigans. Even though we only knew her this week, we stayed in contact with her, and we deeply mourn the loss of such a wonderful person. No one deserves this. Rest East, Jade- The Kreutzer & Aurand Families

I remember being in science class with you just laughing away, and getting in trouble with the teacher for laughing. You never failed to light up a room with your smile and contagious energy. You’re OH SO beautiful and I know you’re feeling peace and happiness in heaven right now. I love you Jade.

Thank you for sending me music since the day I met you. Your memory will live through me in the most powerful way possible anytime it comes on. You made quarantine better through the simple things and I hope your memory lives through others in its own unique way. It was a sincere pleasure meeting you and I wish nothing but the best to your beautiful family. Your memory is forever engraved in my heart.

Heart broken for you all. May God comfort you! Such a beautiful girl, gone way to soon. Rest In Peace beautiful

I remember him from high school as such a nice guy. My condolences to his family.

Fond memories of a high school classmate gone too soon. To all of the family, may your treasured memories and the love of others sustain you during this time of loss.

We enjoyed camping trips and playing cards with Midge and her family over the years. I think of her now with Bill and Mark and Pop, sitting around a campsite happily waiting for the rest of us to arrive.

Condolences to Tims family! Enjoyed going to church at Fruitland Baptist when he and Rhonda did the choir

Sammy was a favorite relative. He loved music and had a good heart. Although he's gone, I think we can all learn from him still. To be kind and to take up for others. I never heard Sammy say a bad word about anyone. Rest In Peace cousin.

Gary and Vickie are loved members of our family and he will be missed. I will never forget him taking three little girls for a ride in his convertible, giving them all a thrill. So sad to learn of his passing and love and prayers to Vickie. We were glad to be able to be at his memorial via livestream.

Sam was a special person, He was our neighbor for a few yrs. he loved our dog Chico and would feed him treats. Sam loved country music especially Arron Tipping's. We would laugh at the crazy things Sam would say or do. We loved Sam and will miss him so much. He had the best heart. Wish we could be there to say good bye. RIP Sam our friend

Gary was a great friend of my Mom and Dad- Mel and Nancy Talenski. I met him a couple times and remember him as captivating with maybe a little mischief afoot. A lover of Mexican food :) Mom and Dad always talked fondly of Gary as a loving husband, good man and patriot. I know he will be dearly missed by his church family and friends. Sending my sympathy to his family and prayers for peace and comfort.

Roy Allison.....a life well lived. Our sympathy to Kenny and all the family.

My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

Gary & I have known each other for a number of years. Of that time, we exchanged many war stories of our time in the military. I remember stories of his time in "food service" and his time in broadcasting. Gary was easy to be around & lovable guy. I could go on & on, but I will close with the statement "Gary, you are Home at last". Your loving friend, Mel Talenski Shalom

Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Gary will be missed but never forgotten.

May God grant you comfort and peace in this difficult time. We're thinking of you.

To all the family of Earl. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a good man. I met him at home depot what a great man. God bless all of you at this time. Heaven has gained a wonderful man

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Amato family.

Had the best smile, I remember his smile and sweetness even as a young girl. Many thoughts, prayers, love, hugs and precious memories being sent to the family during this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing, my prayers will be with your whole family as you travel this journey without him. It seemed we were always running into one another some place (even Feed and Seed) and it was such fun visiting with you both. All my love and prayers. Margaret Trees

We miss having Sunday breakfast's with Buddy, he was a Great friend and could tell a joke better than anyone I know. Loved hearing his weekly adventures as we shared ours as well. He was Truly a Great man and true Father.

I will always remember his smile and laughter..It was my pleasure just getting to know him..

We are so heart broken but we know JW is with our Heavenly Father. JWWas so special to us and he will be missed. Sending prayer of comfort to Pat and family. Love you.

Sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you Holly and the rest of the family.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I will be praying peace and comfort over the family!!!!♥️♥️♥️

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father. He will be missed by all who knew him. May Earl rest in peace with the Lord.

We stayed at Walt's inn many times in the 90's and early 2000's until we moved to Texas. We always enjoyed every minute we spent with him. His retreat by the river was a great weekend getaway. I knew the inn had closed but didn't learn of Walt's death until 2021. He's still alive in our favorite memories of staying with him in the wonderful Bat Cave/Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area.

What I remember most about my Aunt Midge is her genuine smile and her laugh, such a sweet lady. Sending all of you our heartfelt condolences. Nancy and John.

Dear Pat, Suzie, Terry and Bonnie, We were devastated last year, when we learned we would be loosing JW much sooner than we were ready to. But now we realize that God had a place for him a few days ago, an he is now there with Him!....closer to Him than ever before! We hope that that is a comfort to you now, as it is for us. We hope that knowing this now can give you peace, as the same Lord wraps His arms around you to give you comfort. Please know that both you, Pat, and JW were such fun to be with through Shriner's and all those enjoyable meetings, activities and trips to support the Shriner's Hospitals for Children! We especially enjoyed meeting your three beautiful daughters grandchildren and many of your other friends at the fantastic 50'th anniversary party a few years ago. Wasn't that a wonderful event!!! JW sure had an loving impact on a lot of people, didn't he!! And what a worker he was, too! The Hendersonville Shrine Club could always count on him when anything needed to be done! His extremely hard work as co-chair of the Celebration for Children, to benefit the Shriner's Hospitals is to be commended! ...and he truly loved doing it all! Yes he was a very special man whom we will never forget! Don and I eadh send you our love and deepest sympathies at this very difficult time for each of you.

Aunt midge will be missed , kim and I are sending prayers and thoughts to all cousins and their entire families

Frances Stewart - Class of 1972. What an inspiring, wonderful - and tough - teacher, drama coach and mentor! Fond memories of going to Chapel Hill drama competition with ONCE UPON A PLAYGROUND, and YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN and our senior play YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU. Any classes he taught were not-to-be-missed and full of lively discussions. Thank you, Mr. Orr. I was blessed to have you in my life.

Condolences to you and your family Stevie. We love you and your Dad would be proud of the father you are. You are a wonderful person and I’m honored to call you my friend. God bless you and your family. Love Dan McCarthy and Family

Earl was a good man. You picked a good one Sis to be your mate and I was proud to give you (my baby Sis) away that day to such a fine man. Seems like it was forever ago but time moves fast. I will miss him but look for another day that will last forever. Love you Sis and hurt for your loss.

So sorry to learn of your loss. Know that you are in our prayers.

So sorry for your loss. Jean was a great lady and I know she will be greatly missed by her family.

Jean was a true friend to all who knew her, and brought joy to some many children. I feel blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers to all her family.

Pat, Bonnie, Terri, and Susie So sorry to hear about JW. All of you have been in my thoughts and prayers. My life has been enriched by having met him. Love you.

I remember he and your mom from the old days. They were a joy to be around. I know they will surely be missed. Glad they're together again.

I am so sorry Leslie, I know you are going to miss him. I haven't seen Jimmy in years, so I'm just going to remember the way he was , when I last seen him. He was always kind to me. You are in my prayers ❤️

Lots of good memories of Aunt Jean - especially the beach trips with the whole family. My condolences to Uncle Dale and the whole family.

I was John’s roommate freshman year at Colgate. Actually helped John and Barb elope. Ladder to the window and all that. Lost touch when John dropped out for a while. I wish Barb and family well.

I remember the old days well !!! He is with my mom and brother now.

May your memories and faith bring you and your family strength and comfort during this difficult time! May God bless you!

Jean was a wonderful friend to my mother Thelma Parton over the years. Sorry for your loss.

We loved mrs. Jean and yalls family so much .yall are in your prayers and mom and i plan to be there . love, Tiffany and Kathy

I have many memories of Pauline. I guess memories of her at Elks Pool are some of my favorites. I know loosing Everest has really been hard for her. Every couple deserves to be as Happy as they were. My Sympathy goes out to her Children, especially Sweet Laurie! Rest In Peace!

Sorry to hear of Steve's passing my condolences to you and the family

We are so sorry for your loss of Ms Jean. She will be missed by many. I wish we could attend the services and be there for the family please contact is if you need anything. Sidney and Martha Pruitt family.

Once Mama Jean loved you, she always loved you. I disappointed her many times, but she never once failed me. Simply the greatest woman I've EVER known. I love her forever

Praying for you all -- may God grant you comfort and peace as we remember the good times shared with your father, your grandfather, your husband, our friend--Steve. He always had some pearls of wisdom to share that we will treasure. He will be dearly missed.

I will remember Carol's sense of humor, her humility, and her love for her family. Oh! and her adoration of Mr. B, Esquire. Jeanne gave unprecedented care and her service to her beloved sister makes her a hero in my book. I was lucky to know them both.

Heavenly Father, please wrap Your arms of comfort around Steve’s entire family at this time and replace their pain with peace that only You can give. Amen -You will all be in our thoughts and prayers in the difficult days ahead. ❤️

We’re so sorry to hear about Steve. Sending prayers.

I'm Late As Usual, But Deeply Saddened At Patty's Passing. We Went Thru 12 Years Of School Together . Joe & I Used To SCUBA Dive Together. Patty Was Always A Good Friend... My Prayers Go Out To The Family.

I met Judith on Skype six years ago. Her Italian was better than my English, but we found a lot of things to share. Books above all, her love for Italy and mine for the US. We met every week, and year after year we shared our life, our problems and our happyness. We met in Bologna in 2017 and I remember her running outside the station to hug me. We had a great day , as you can see from the picture. I'll miss her, her silent sweetness, her quietness. Love Judy, Anna

Joan, my prayers to you and your family. I never met Steve but know he had a huge heart as he shared you to give time and talents away from family in service to our Red Cross mission. Grace and peace of the Lord be with you all. Steve's light will forever shine!

With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of your servant Steve; where there is no pain, nor sorrow, nor suffering, but life everlasting.

A loss such as this makes it seem the earth has shifted on its axis. Sending heartfelt condolences and wishes for strength and peace as you navigate this new version of your world. May your memories be a blessing!

May memories bring you strength and comfort! Thinking of all of your family at this difficult time. Nancy Sigmon

Glad for the opportunity to see Steve on my trip. Continued prayers for the strength of the entire family.

Dear Stacey and Family, Grace and Peace from our Risen Lord Jesus. We grieve with you on your father's death. May you know the love and comfort of family and friends, and especially of our caring Lord. In Christ's love, David & Diana

Aunt Pat, Bonnie, Terri, and Susie, It’s hard to know what to say at times like these. I love you all so much and want to be able to comfort you in some way. I want you all to know I looked up at Uncle JW with so much pride, love, and respect. He was a wonderful uncle and a loving caring husband, father, and grandfather. His life mattered to the people who knew and loved him. From the moment he was born he was loved and adored by his mother, father, and brother. He joined the Army and served his country for 20 years. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for helping keep the country safe. He married Aunt Pat and they had three beautiful daughters; Bonnie, Terri, and Susie. Then came the grandchildren so the love and admiration for him continued on. I flew on a plane for the first time with Uncle JW. I was 5 years old and I hope he saw what Bonnie saw when I took my second flight with her. She said I looked like a kid in a candy store I was so excited. It has been an honor having Uncle JW in my life. I will always hold him in my mind and heart! He believed in his lord and savior so I know he is flying high with angels in heaven and walking the streets of gold with god. Love forever, Wanda

Thinking of you all as you bear this loss and holding you in my prayers.

Blake, Mo and Lauren, Words can never express what Buddy meant to our family. He is the center of so many wonderful times and memories here in Georgia and there in North Carolina. There is no doubt there is laughter in Heaven right now because your Dad is there. He was a good man. We are always going to miss him terribly. Please know we will be praying for you all. We love you all so much!

My

We love and miss you very much.

Judy will be greatly missed. A fond memory is her laugh...it was so contagious.

What a wonderful dear friend Judy was. I loved her laugh...it was so contagious and so frequent. It was always fun when Phil & I visited Joe & Judy because good food was always on the list; great discussions, and comparing our bird lists. She will be greatly missed.

Gaby, my heart is aching for you and your family. I will remember you in my thoughts and prayers. I remember all the wonderful stories of your beloved George. You two were so in love always. I am sending you hugs and love dear friend. Joy

Dear Lois, it is April5, 2021. I don’t know if you will ever see this but was so sorry to see that Jimmy had passed away. Have thought about you over the years. Hope you and your family are doing welll. Would love to hear from you.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Don at Aetna back in the '70s. In 1973 I moved to London and unfortunately lost touch with he and Ann (who I did meet once right after they got married, I believe). He was a supportive boss and good friend. My sympathies to his family on his passing.

Pat, Bonnie, Teresa, Susan, and Family, We are blessed to have known JW. He was always smiling. We are forever grateful for his service in the military. We are going to miss him. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Jay & Carolyn Alley

Buddy- You were absolutely the best brother a sister could ever hope for. You were never too busy for me when we were growing up. You taught me how to have fun. Your whole family can't wait to see you again. You are missed by many. Love you so very much ❤ Sylvia

So sorry, Gabi and family -

Aunt Evie was an amazing lady with so much grace. I will remember her so fondly how she and mother would giggle about the simplest things. June, Lucy and Anne have so much to be proud of for their mother's accomplishments. My heart goes out to all of you and your families.

George was such a kind and loving person. Gabby, we are so very sorry for your loss. We pray for you often and are glad to help in any way possible.

Buddy, Thank you for being such an amazing grandpa and father. As well as a father in law, thank you for everything that you did for all of us. We are going to miss you but we will see you again in Heaven. We love you.

Love and hugs. She was a beautiful lady. Love, Janet Israel Strickland, Danny Strickland, Megan and family

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet lady. Judy will always hold a special place in our hearts. We remember her laughter and smiles and enjoyed working with Judy at the garden center.

Elaine truly loved her animals and was a huge animal advocate.

Shawna and Brandi, your mom was tough as nails! She cared so much for you, like when she called me out of the blue to make sure you were eating... she told me to make sure I kept an eye on you as your brother! Some of my fondest memories of your mom was when you would bring her by and I would get to just talk with her. When I talked to your mom it was like talking to family, time always seemed to go too quickly. The way she loved on my girls and always wanted to make sure they were doing good was nothing but Love! We loved her and we love you both like family!

Chris, I know it's a difficult time when you lose a parent; my condolences to you and your family.

What a lovely tribute to Bella! We are very sorry for your loss, and you are in our thoughts.

My time spent with Buddy was limited. We spoke occasionally at birthday parties, and once he rescued Mo, JC and I after a particularly silly night out on the town (my idea, I’m sure). Despite our few interactions, I came to know Buddy in a very unique way—through the eyes of his daughter-in-law. JC and I were childhood best friends; her family was my family, and I still consider her parents to be my second mom and dad. I remember when she started dating Mo, and seemingly overnight she went from zero to in love. It was so sweet to witness the beginning of their relationship, but looking back what I find most compelling about that time is the instantaneous, yet profound connection she made with Buddy. For every swoon-worthy story she shared with me about Mo, she must have shared three about Buddy. “Did I tell you the story he told us out in the garage yesterday?...” “Let me tell you what he did for Mo’s birthday last week”... “The other day, Buddy did the funniest thing...” I feel so privileged to know a version of him, just through JC’s stories. And, I can’t think of a better testament to his life. How many people do you know that would take their son’s girlfriend, not knowing if she would be around for the long haul, and make her a part of their family? Share his home with her? Treat her like a daughter? Buddy truly was a special man, the kind of man I hope to meet again one day. Take heart in knowing “No one is truly dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away” —Terry Pratchett. And, I have a feeling that the ripples Buddy caused in this world are not going anywhere.

Precious memories flood our souls, so many from Mt. Olivet Baptist have gone home makes Heaven more sweeter.

Precious memories flood our souls, so very many from Mt.Olivet have gone home makes heaven sweeter every day.

Billy and Doris Cox

We are so heartbroken over the passing of Buddy, our neighbor. He was always so happy, smiling, joking. Just an overall wonderful person to know. You will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Shawna and Brandi I'm so sad to hear about Judy. We love all of you.

To all the family, I am so sorry to hear about this. Love & prayers to everyone! Mrs Judy will be missed a ton!

Edward was a truly gifted artist. His meticulous works were more than worthy of a gallery exhibition. Moving to the Maxwell family farm certainly provided a natural inspiration to create. His talents extended to the beautiful landscaping he designed and planted around his home, built in large part to bring his mom, Gussie, back to her North Carolina roots following the death of his dad, Russell. He was a devoted son. Ed certainly enjoyed the summer reunions of many first cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. He was our designated ice cream maker!! He will be missed. Sending love and prayers. Kim

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all..

Thought alot of Buddy. Will miss him.

Shawna, Adrian & family we were so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom/ Grandmother. Sending prayers & love to you and your family .

Shauna, Brandi, Adrian, I am so sorry about your mother and grandmother. May God comfort you in this time of loss.

Buddy you are and always will be so very dear to us all. What a wonderful Father, friend and person you are! We will miss your smile and kindness until we see you again in Heaven.

Buddy, you were the best uncle anyone could ever ask for. We will never forget your kindness and wonderful sense of humor. We love you..... Karen, Richard and Luke

So sorry for your loss. You're in my prayers.

Blake, it has been many years from those days on the school bus. Sorry for your loss, but your dad’s legacy will live on through you. I lost my dad a day after you lost yours. Go figure only the Murphy’s and the Ball’s would know. Take care my friend and live on your dad’s legacy as it will be shown in everything you build in life.

I was blessed to have known Dean & have him as my brother-in-law. He was a precious soul who was always kind, caring & helpful to all who knew him expecting nothing in return. Dean was a loving & supportive husband to my sister, Pat and a loving father to his son, Donovan of whom he spoke often with great pride, definitely a "family man". I am so very sorry for each of your sudden & unexpected loss. Take comfort that he is now in Paradise, at peace, with our Heavenly Father where there is no suffering or sorrow. I will keep all of Dean's family & friends in my prayers daily as you grieve the loss of this precious soul. Remember that he will always live in your hearts & minds.

Praying for peace and comfort for the families of Uncle Bergen. Thinking of the rejoicing happening in Heaven!

I hate not knowing for sure what happens when you die. But I really love to believe there is a heaven past the sky. --Jamie Cirello We will miss you George. Love from Stu and Susan

Wishing peace to your whole family. Donation made to local food bank in Nashville, TN in honor of a wonderful man. Gabrielle, Stef, Allison and your families- my heart and prayers are with you all! Love, Benny and Amy Wolf and family

We have lost a good man! Buddy was a humble, talented and kind man. Our prayers go out to his family that he loved so much! Rest In Peace!

Buddy, you were a second dad to me. I will always be thankful for having the best father-in-law that a girl could ask for. You always brought a smile to everyone's face and that will always stick with me. We will see you again in Heaven one day. I love you.

Sorry for your loss. He will certainly be missed.

We are sorry for your loss. He will certainly be missed.

Buddy was the best brother in the world. We are heartbroken to lose him. I love you so much Buddy. I know we will see you again someday.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved , still missed and very dear. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves memories no one can steal. Gaby, my deepest sympathy to you and your girls and family. My thoughts and prayers of peace are with you.

Dear Gabriella, honestly can not even express my sorrow for you and your family. Friday was talking with Mommy, and like always, praising you and George, how good you are to her. Now,it is hard to believe, that George left such a void in Your life, in Your girls life, in your Mom's life-anybody who knew him. Memories, yes, but memories can never be and will never be enough to lessen the pain. Love you, feel for you, pray for you. Not really Sisters, but Sis, here anytime I can make your pain any less painful. Love you.

We are so sorry to hear of passing of Buddy your dad and friend. He was a very talented and a wonderful friend. He was admired for his friendlyness and attention to details. He will surely be missed by everyone.

Prayers of comfort to all the family and friends.

Buddy you are truly going to be missed. Thanks for being such a wonderful brother.

Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. Leslie was a very kind person.

Gene and Bruce Im so sorry. But God can use him more. I know you miss him. He loved the live he lived on earth. A good man.

While I did not have the pleasure of meeting Buddy, I can tell from his son Blake what type of father and friend he was to those who knew and loved him. Buddy’s love for life, his strong work ethic, congenial personality and helping his community will live on for years to come. I send my deepest condolences and sympathy to his family and friends. Buddy can now rest with the Lord as he continues to watch over all who loved him.

Uncle Bergen will be missed by all who knew him. Sharron and I are sending condolences to your entire family and will keep you in our prayers.

Love you so much dad. I just feel like the world should stop now.

So so sorry to see this and to realize that our great George has moved on. I really enjoyed George's wit, intelligence, humor, care for his family and real-world experiences. I had really hoped to spend more time diving with him and just hanging out and talking with him about Abraham and living pono life :). I'm so sorry that George is gone. We toasted several to him on the lanai Saturday night, so many fun times there with you two. Our love and aloha to Stef and Allison and all the grandkids as well.

Rita, so sorry for you loss of your father. He is in heaven with your mother and very happy. Prayers for you and your family.

Buddy was a constant for his children and I their lives and all of the people who loved him We had the privilege of working with him. He was always a joy. Lots of love to the family. Buddy will be missed.

Evelyn was an amazing and inspirational lady. My wife and I met her in Hendersonville in the 1990s, while she was serving as the President of Blue Ridge Literacy Council. She was a caring, intelligent and hard-working lady who supported our community with all her heart and soul. Her husband Bob adored the ground she walked on. They will be cherished by all those who knew. Heart-felt condolence to the family!

Our hearts are broken to learn of Buddy's passing. He was such a kind gentle spirit always, even as a kid. I will never forget him being one of the first to visit my brother, Steve and I when our dad passed away. Two years ago when Steve passed away, once again there was Buddy to share our grief. Buddy was truly one of a kind and he will surely be missed by our family as well as the many other lives he touched. I am bless to have called him my friend. I am sure that Steve was there to greet him at the Golden Gates and now they are fishing together on one of beautiful lakes of Heaven.

Rap was tough as nails and had so many great, funny stories. Took bullshit from no one. A special memory I have of Rap was when he gave me his recipe for Ricotta Cake. He had it hand written so nicely. He even ended the recipe with the words “Eat and Enjoy” It was one of the best cakes I have eaten. I hope your eating ricotta cake with Sunny in heaven! ♥️✝️

We'll miss you very much uncle burgin prayers for you as and all the family !

Betty

Gaby, so very very sorry! Please accept our condolences!

Prayers of comfort for the family and friends

Gaby, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this trying time. Take comfort in your memories of all the wonderful years you had together.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear that George passed away. Every time I run through all the names of the 7 Greene siblings I still say Jack, George, Barbara, Jim, Marilyn, Tom, & Shayla. You are so missed and will be in our hearts forever Barbara and Ken Bradford

We love you George. Prayers to Gaby and family.

I am so very truly sorry…Tom has been despondent … Although I only had the pleasure of having met George a handful of times… He had an innate inherited knack for getting you to say things you didn’t even know you needed to get out… I guess that’s why he was mom‘s “number one son… “ He was a pillar of knowledge without being full of himself, humble yet snarky at the same time… It’s sort of like he could see in you something that you didn’t know you had and managed to get it out of you somehow… He was pretty cool… I know he saved the day at our wedding… Tom was pretty nervous and George’s presence was ever so grounding… I will be forever grateful for that memory. My deepest most heartfelt condolences to you, Stefany, Allison and your beautiful grandchildren

Gaby, Stephany, and Allison, We were so shocked and upset to hear about George’s unexpected passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Hoping that the many wonderful memories you have from over the years will sustain you through your grief. Hugs to all of you, Susan (Farmer) Mason & family

We never imagined there wouldn’t be ONE MORE MAUI trip where we would share Mark’s famous mai tais on our lanai, grill food (you would always bring!!) and hang out for hours just enjoying each other’s company.... and sooooo many laughs.... I know Mark will miss all the good conversations while I would massage Gab. And all the diving fun and sharing underwater camera knowledge ... my heart breaks for the girls and grandkids whom will miss his sage advice ... so freely given. George was there for me in a big way when I was going through a really rough patch in my twenties ... he talked to me for hours and I attribute those caring talks to saving my life... many years later i thanked him ... he had done so much... but he didn’t remember. That’s the kind of heart he had - gave it all with no strings attached. We will miss you George!!!

Chris , thank you for your service, and your friendship. I am really going to miss seeing you, and having someone to give me a hard time. I pray for your family and friends that are still here, and I pray that you are no longer in any pain. I'm going to miss you buddy.

Sad we lost mom and Rap within weeks, but I feel they are together now, and in God's kingdom. R.I.P. you 2 love birds. Love ya !!!!! Miss ya !!!!!!

My dear Gabriella our deepest heartfelt sympathies and prayers for your loss and to your whole family.May God hold you all in his loving arms .

Dear Gabriella, Stefany, and Allison, I’m thinking of you all so much right now and can hardly believe the news. For my entire life, there were always the four of you, the Greenes, that felt more like extended family than just friends. I can’t believe there are now only 3 of the original 4. Gabriella, you and George built such a beautiful life and a wonderful family that has only grown larger and more wonderful with time. I know you all brought him great pride and joy and filled his life with love. Sending so many hugs to you three during this difficult time.

Rap Was always there for a great story and some funny jokes , I got to be apart of this wonderful mans wisdom for 11 years while I lived in the Carolinas near my cousin Diane and Doug...he was truly a special guy!

My Father -in-Law Navío treated me like a Son he was so good to me ,, Some of my Favorite Vacations were with him at the Beach House Fishing, Crabbing ,Barbecuing I love you Dad RIP

Dear Gabriella we send our deepest confidences to you and your family . Our prayers are with you at this difficult time

Gone too soon. Sending prayers and healing thoughts to Gabby and family. So heartbreaking. My memories of George go back to high school days.

George and Gabi were our best neighbors in Farmington for 10 years! Lucky for us to have formed such a close relationship, we were more like family. Stephanie and Allison adored their father because he would always listen and present great ideas. My husband Toby and George would go scuba diving together and had so much fun. George, you will surely be missed!

He will be missed. We were fortunate to have as a neighbor and loved our get togethers! So glad we got to visit you at your beautiful home in NC and spend time together. You all have amazing memories and so much love we pray it helps give you peace and comfort. Our sincere condolences Much love and hugs to you all Holly n Carl

Dear Gabriella, anybody who spent any time with you, knows how much you loved George and how much George loved you. With the exception of your childhood you were always friends, partners and husband and wife. Together you brought up two strong, smart and beautiful girls and you always, always were each other’s strongest supporters in all the storms of life. I can’t believe that I will never have another „ fight“ with George about politics- just to be welcomed by him with open arms at my next visit. It is so sad for me to know that you, my friend, will now have to walk alone through these difficult times. Please trust that George will be with you, that your beautiful family will support you and that your many friends will be there for you. I‘m sorry to be so far away right now, but you are in my thoughts and prayers always. Alan and the girls send their love also.

Gaby: No words can express our deepest sympathies, and no words can live up to the man/husband/father/grandfather George truly was. Gaby always recounted how they met and got married at a young age. They started early with their blessed married lives and had two great daughters and then their family grew with sons in law and then beautiful grandchildren. Wish we could be near you to help you during this difficult time, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Frank and Debbie Greco

Sending my love. Xoxo

He was a friend only for a short time but my time with him was competitive and fun. I will miss his wit and his serve.

Gaby, My heart goes out to you and your family. George will be remembered.

Gaby we are so sorry for your loss. You were so devoted to each other and the memories you carry in your heart are precious. He was devoted and strong in life and I am sure he is still watching over you and your family.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Gaby and her family. Cherish your memories which will help you through this sudden difficult time.

I love you dad ! I wish I could’ve been there to hold your hand when you took your last breathe. I’m so sad. But you knew nothing about Covid. In fact if you knew a lot of what was going on in this country, in the world ,you’d have been dropping some F- bombs. RIP. ALL MY LOVE FOREVER !!!

Rap, you and grandma were the ideal couple. You both loved each other very much and I am glad to know you are reunited again. You were always the one with little to say, but when you did speak, it was witty and hilarious. I’ll never forget going on the pontoon boat and catching crabs many years ago. You will be missed Rap

In 1981 when I was 17, I bought a yellow '76 Ford Mustang with money i earned working after school the 2 years prior. It was a stick shift (some may have no idea what that is, google it!). I didn't know how to drive it, but it was what I could afford and was in good condition per Navio's assessment under the hood. He taught me how to drive it, and I am grateful for his patience and time.

Gaby and girls, I can’t imagine the pain you and the girls are going through. Hold all those memories in your heart and they will help you when you need them. Saying prayers for all of you and sending you a hug.

This is all too sad to imagine. While I never met George, it was obvious how close you two were and that there was so much love and happiness. What a blessing to your entire family he was. Please know I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are doing OK.

Gaby, We hope that sweet and happy memories help you and your family through the difficult hours. Our hearts break for you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Stefany and I met in first grade and you all have been another family to me since then. There was so much time spent at your house and so many life experiences shared. My heart aches for all of you. You are such a loving family and I know you will have each other to get through this tough time. So many wonderful memories to share with each other. I’m thinking of you often and sending my love to you all.

So sad, no words to express how we feel. George was a great father, husband, grandfather and neighbor. He will be missed. He looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains from above us all now.

Dear Gaby. I am so very sorry that the wonderful man you called husband, father and grandfather has been taken from your lives far too early and my heart aches for you all. I only met him a few times and my only knowledge of George was through you Gaby, with stories of the fun times you shared. I know the immense love you shared and the memories will be of comfort to you, your children and grandchildren. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God. Bless you all. Hugs.

Navio was the eldest of five children, and I the youngest. He took the role of the eldest son in a traditional Italian family very seriously having been born in Italy. He was always there for his brothers and sisters and I will greatly miss him. He took his responsibility of being the eldest very seriously and was always there for us. I will miss him forever.

My Big Brother

Gabby and family, So sorry to hear of George's unexpected passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all your family at this time, hope you have many happy memories to comfort you..

Dear Gaby, our hearts ache over the sad news of George's untimely passing. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and the whole family. May your faith and the truth that you and George shared for so many years help to carry you through this time of mourning and loss. We wished we could be closer to cook some meals for you and give you company. We are one with you in spirit and behold the life of George which has transformed. He is still with you closer than your breath. Your love for each other is eternal.

What a beautiful tribute to George. Although I didn’t really know him, the love you two shared was undeniable. Gaby, you & your girls are in our thoughts & prayers. Sending much love & hugs!

Gaby, I cannot imagine your grief and shock. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gaby, This is still a shock. My heart aches for you and the girls. Prayers to you and your family..Thinking of your at this difficult time.

I’m at a loss for words. I’m heartbroken to hear this. You guys are like family to me. You took me in and took care of me when my own family didn’t . What a great man. He will be missed. Love to all of you .

My sympathy goes out to Gaby, Stefany, Allison, and all of their beautiful children. I witnessed the beautiful love Gaby and George shared and the love he had for his family. His spirit will live on through them. George will be missed by so many and I will miss his dry sense of humor and his amazing grilled chicken. May God surround this family with His comfort and peace.

George was a very accommodating host every time we visited Gaby whether it was when they lived in Victor or in Hendersonville. Such a gentleman, helping with luggage, grilling, making us feel welcome, sharing his wit and dry sense of humor. I will miss George, and my heart breaks for the love of his life and for Stefany and Allison and Lee and the grandkids. Such a devastating loss of a very good man.

Rap, we will miss your many stories - especially about Alaska and the mob stories from your early days - we had many laughs. I am happy that you and Sunny are back together again having many, many laughs. I know everyone always asked for your meatball recipe, but they should know Italians do not have recipes, we use a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Thanks for always taking us on the pontoon boat, the kids loved crabbing and finding conch shells, as well as helping us when the kids were little. I always enjoyed making apple turnovers and pizzellas for you. We have many good laughs...say hi to Suds too. Love, Diane

Navio was a good man and a wonderful husband to our mother, Sunny. Our boys grew up knowing him as "Grandpa Rap" and we had some good times with him and mom down at the beach in Rehoboth and on his pontoon out on the Chesapeake. He was a much loved member of our family and we will all miss him. It's still hard to comprehend that we won't have Rap and Sunny in our lives anymore. God speed.

Jeanne, it's hard to find the words. Carol meant the world to me, so many happy memories. I will carry her in my heart forever. May God's Peace help ease the pain in your heart.

Rap, You and your humor will be greatly missed. Thanks for all of your help over the years. Say hello to mom for my. She has been wanting to be with you again for so long. Love you guys, Doug

Will always remember his great smile, and the wonderful times we shared together as friends... A family man he was and a gentle soul... May you rest in peace! ❤️

Will always remember he's crazy smile

My husband Ed loved apples and he loved buying apples from Frankie at Farmers Market! He and Ed always found something to cut-up about! We always enjoyed chatting with him - Frankie was so warm and friendly. We had a small cinnamon colored Chow Chow named Ching that Maddix would take for a little stroll when she was at market with her grandpa. Ching passed in April and my dear Ed passed in September. We were married 51 years - I understand the big hole in your heart Rhonda- I pray for you and your family to feel the peace that only God can give until we are all reunited in heaven.

I did not know this gentleman, but would like to Thank his family for his service to our Country.

Lori’s Mom Imogene, and I are first cousins, and Lori is so closely a part in our family. I remember her as a tiny brand new bundle, little beautiful face and so happy. I watched her grow over the years becoming more beautiful spiritually inside and out. She knew her direction and what she wanted out of life. She could not be more proud of her two beautiful children and every year she sent me a picture of each. I cherished watching them grow into adults. Lori has left a beautiful legacy in her children that will go on forever. God bless and care for each of the family.

I am so sorry for Patty's and your Dad's passing. Both of your Parent's were special people. Working for Patty at Pardee was a pleasure . Your beautiful memories of them will always keep them close. God Bless your families!

Daddy, I'm going to miss you! Miss our lunch dates, phone calls and silly animal posts on facebook, miss picking on each other and spending time together. I am blessed to be your daughter and will always share your words of wisdom with others. Now it's time to rest, you made sure to make everyone you talked to smile or laugh in some way and you will be remembered, I promise to be nice to senior citizens always! Keep your eye on me, you know how I like to cause trouble! I love you daddy!

Thank you for your service, bit thank you most of all for excepting me as your son, and bringing the most beautiful lady into this world. My wife Elizabeth. RIH.... Until we meet again. You will be missed.

My Aunt Helen loved the Lord with her whole heart. When our family moved from California to Maryland, we stayed with Uncle Lyle and Aunt Helen for several weeks until our apartment was ready. I remember her challenging me to memorize the hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy. I did it. Still know all the words. I love hymns to this day. You will be missed, Aunt Helen.

Uncle Chris, you will be dearly missed. I never knew of your involvement in the armed services. I wish we had more time to get to know you and your adventures. Rest well.

I wish I had more time to hear more of your stories and share more of mine with you. I am truly grateful to be your grandson and to have known such a strong and kind hearted man. I will never forget our talks and always miss and love you. I hope that as you watch over family and friends, that we make you proud.

So glad I had you as a father, you were the best! As with most, my only regret is that we didn't have enough time with you. I, as well as, Mark, Tucker, Dalton and Jordan will miss you.

Thank you for your service Uncle Chris. Many happy and fun memories I think of often when you and my father were stationed at the same duty stations. Rest well and can't wait to see and hug you some day. Prayers of peace for your loved ones and friends who are still here.

Thank you for your Services. You raised a fine daughter we are pleased to call her (Elizabeth) sister in my family. Rest easy with the Lord and continue to look down and send a lil sparkle to her and let her know your ok. Until we all see you again.❤

Thank you for your service, rest in peace. Prayers for the family and comfort from Jesus.

Thank you for your service Uncle Pete and so blessed that God saved you in that close call overseas. God spared you so you could have many years to be a good disciple. It sounds like you served him well. So blessed that we got to know you too.

My memories of Pete and Gertrude go back to my early childhood years at Bobs Creek Baptist Church. Pete was our song leader and Gertrude was my Sunday School teacher. Thankful for the spiritual impact they had on my beginning walk with Jesus.

So sorry to see this, you were so much fun to work with at Pardee.....❤️

I met Alice during radiation for our cancer treatments. She reminded me so much of my mother: elegant, classy, well dressed. I felt as though my mother was with me during this difficult time. We actually looked forward to radiation, just to see each other. The last treatment for both of us was on the same day. That day the machine broke down and all appointments were rescheduled. The team at Pardee Cancer center knew we had grown close and when they rescheduled our last visits, they made sure we were together. Alice loved my dog, Harriet. She made sure I brought her to our visits. I enjoyed baking and cooking things for Alice that she enjoyed. She is a bright light in my life, always. P.S. When you get to heaven please say Hi to my mom!

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest in Peace.

Thank you so much for your service to our country. Rest in Peace.

Joe and I wanted to offer our love and support as you have the memorial service for your parents. We are out of town and will not be back in time but we want you to know that we hold your entire family close to our hearts and pray for your comfort.

Uncle Pete sure was a great friend to have and we enjoyed every visit through the years. Will miss his cheerful attitude and welcome voice every time we met. Not many like him for sure. Could not help but admire this man. Went to church many years with him. Rest in peace brother..

James A. Osteen Jr.

I am so sorry for your loss. Carl was a great man, friend and neighbor. He was the best of the best. I wish we had many more like him. He will surely be missed.

Gene , Bruce and family we are so sorry for your loss. We always loved both your parents. They were a delight to be around. We sit many a Sunday morning in Pete's class at Beulah and enjoyed his teachings. I (Linda )often put my 2 cents in with Gerts approval and had great time learning from Pete. We have so much to look forward to when we get Home with Jesus and our loved ones!
