Horace

March 22, 2013

Joan and Euell,
   
       Just a note to let you know how much Horace is missed.  He was a wonderful friend to our family.  He was always a jolly person and enjoyed being around people.  I think he was the last of the older people in our little community.  Where have the years gone, it seems like it has been no time since we lived at Oak Hill and Grandma and myself would walk through the woods to visit Horace's family and the Jack Adcock family.  How time seems to slip away from us much too soon.  That was truly the good old days, and there are so many wonderful memories from those years.  We also miss Miss Pearl and Esther, we used to come for visits and have a great time of fellowship.  Life goes on and just to think we will see them all again in Heaven.  It will surely be a great home coming for all of us.  Our love to all of you. 

Betty Jean and Bobby
