Thoughts & Prayers
Jim Garrett & Mildred Groseclose
Mark,
So sorry to learn of your Mother's death. I find myself thinking of both your Mother and Father so many times. So many projects in my home remind me of Charlie every day. The times we shared at Antiques Unlimited with the doll house furnishings and the eager little faces that came to find the perfect piece for their doll houses. There are so many happy memories. Thinking of you and your family.

My prayers go out to family and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Mark and Caitlyn,
I’m sorry to hear about Mrs. Monroe. I miss Tim and going to lunch and sometimes she would go with us. It is wonderful to know that we are promised by Jesus himself that Heaven is so wonderful we can’t even imagine it, and now Tim, Charlie, and her are enjoying it together. It is great to know that you will see your family and I will see my friends in the twinkling of an eye.
I always enjoyed Carolyn as my neighbor. In summers she would share some of her cut red roses, which I in turn shared with my mother; and I would take her some of my homemade jellies. I will certainly miss her. My thoughts are with the family during this trying time.
Sincere Condolences to Mark & Mary Martha, Jack, & all your families in your loss of Sweet Carolyn.
Carolyn's parents Bill & Leora were dear friends of my parents (Lucille Evans & Edgar Lane) my Evans grandparents (John T & Alpha Evans) & my Uncles Bob & Raymond Evans.
Uncle Bob & Aileen Evans share a headstone with Bill & Leora Thompson, Evans on one side & Thompson on the other.
What life-long friends they were.
Love, Anna Lane Long
My prayers are with the family. Friends for a short time but loved always and forever.
