Terry & Marty,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have been thinking about you both for the past few days and the times I talked with your dad. He was always trying to do the right thing no matter what the challenge was at the time. He was a Christian and truley loved his family. My mother, your Aunt Avis was so blessed to have had brother like Uncle Cecil. She would tell me stories about the times when Uncle Cecil was stationed in England and when he was stationed in California. He spent many years working for his family and his country and never complained about doing it. Always with a loving heart.

Terry,
I was so sorry to read the news of the loss of your father. May you take comfort in the memories that are shared between family and friends. I found it very comforting for me with the loss of my father in July. I'm unable to attend the service, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our hearts aches for you. We are sorry for your loss. We will truely miss Mr. Womble, he was such a polite & wonderful neighbor. I, personally, will miss seeing him at his front door smoking his pipe and he would always wave at us when ever we drove by. He would always have a kind word to say when my husband and I would be walking. We will keep the family in our prayers and remember, he's in God's kingdom now and when he's called home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. If we can help you at this time of sadness, we are here.
