Hugh,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom. She was one of my favorite people while I was at EHS. My husband Dave taught with her from 1973 until she retired and he loved talking to her. Both of my parents are still with us but it's really hard dealing with them getting older. I'm sorry for your loss. Welynn Lewis Allbach

To Hugh & The DeLozier family:

Know first you are each lifted up in my prayers. Mrs. DeLozier was one of my favorite teachers. She was so special & she was so beautiful, inside & out. I will never forget my sewing experience with her. I know you will miss her greatly. She was my Home Economics teacher, I was a graduate in 1974 from Enka High School. I am so glad I was able to attend the gravesite service & give my respect. Teachers like her are hard to come by these days. Know you are in my prayers for strength through the days ahead. Hugh, I hope to see you again at the next High School Reunion, it was so good to see you but not under the circumstances. the website for updates is enka74.com May God bless you. Draw near to Him & He will see you through. Take care, Teressa Tipton Warren

Dear Delozier family: It is with great sadness that we learn of the loss of our class mate, Betty. That class has been the most loving and caring of all the many from Lee Edwards High and she was a part making it so. May God bless and keep her at His right hand forever until we can meet her there.

Betty's Family, Betty and her first cousin Judy Hipps [King] were members of the Class of 43 at Lee Edwards High School in Asheville. There were 408 of us in that class and Betty's death brings our known deceased total to 195. We are never ready to lose our loved ones regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance. The only comfort comes from a Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Our Class of 43 is thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. Joe and Zunita Clark
