To Jason and Family, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revevealed in us” Romans 8:18 My thoughts and Prayers be with you at this difficult time. BJ
Jason -I am so sorry for your loss. Just remember as your heart is empty, the warm memories of your Dad will bring a smile. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.
So many fond memories on rock bridge rd. A great man with always a wonderful sense of humor. You will be remembered by all who drive by the old house.
Condolences to Barbara, and all the rest of the family. Junior was both loved and respected by us. He will be missed. You could always count on him being there when you lost a family member. He was a pallbearer for my mother, Helen Renolds twenty-five years ago. His stepmother was our aunt. His humor and quick wit always made us laugh when we were around him.
Anderson Family,
Wesley sounds like he was an amazing man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I love you Jr.. You were a Uncle that would love to call and talk. I will miss you and your wonderful fudge. Say hi to Mom and Dad for me. I will always remember the 4th of July cookouts and watching the fireworks from the front yard when I was little.
Wes, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a wonderful man. My parents thought the world of him. When he was with Bellsouth my Mom Mildred Johnson called him every time the phone would act up and he would be right there and end of staying for hours and drinking coffee. You all are in our Prayers.
