A message Beth Cunningham:
Dear Melanie and Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss, but I know you are delighted for her (as she had suffered from Alzheimer's).
Thank you so much for sending me the service to my phone. I read your family's words and looked at the pictures and it brought back some memories that I thought I would share with you.
Your dad was my realtor when I put our home and property up for sale in Crossville (Tennessee) in October 2014. My husband, Bob, had passed in September of 2012. Even though it was a specialty property, Dave did not forget me, and would contact me every couple of weeks and give me an update. He did show it a few times. One day I dropped in to see him at the office, and he witnessed to me how he came to join the Mormon Church. Your mother was very ill and he decided to pray and he promised if she lived, he would join the Faith. Well, she lived and that took care of his resistance. Two days after he witnessed to me, he had a heart attack and passed away. I am so grateful for his sharing and the time with him.
You mom and dad were an amazing team - that you are well aware of. I remember when he was a Bishop at the Crossville Church and they were both busy taking care of whatever needs there were. And going to Knoxville to can produce monthly (for those in need). . . . Sherron was on the Library Board, too. She told me about her previous travels in Europe; always very interesting to hear. Sherron was always careful with choosing her words, to make sure they were clean and clear with no negativity in them. No gossip. Something to aspire to! One Christmas Sherron gave me a gift certificate to a restaurant in Fairfield Glade, and the 4 of us had a meal together.
She loved her family and grandchildren, and she enjoyed being such a part of their lives. She and Dave were always driving to Atlanta to visit you and your children. She also spoke of Anna often, and her designing of purses and shoes, and designing the interior of hotels in Atlanta and Singapore. Anna was, and probably still is a creative and gifted designer.
These are a few tidbits I wanted to share.
In love and sympathy,
Beth Cunningham
