Kevin,
You were a phenominal son to your parents. Rest assured that they are smiling from the heavens at what a great son they raised. I never knew either of your parents, but I know the son they raised; a son filled with compasion, love and enduring strength. A son that would drop whatever he was doing to assist his parents, and look at the request as a blessing, not as a hardship. I am lucky to call you a friend, and your parents were lucky to call you son.
I am sorry for your loss and happy that your parents are where they belong...with one another and at peace.
Love, Jen

I can remember Aunt Vivian and Uncle Ralph from the time I was little til now. I remember sitting in the living room with Aunt Vivian and Uncle Ralph while my daddy was out at the boat house. I remember running around the boat house and Uncle Ralph showing me around, I can remember putting my toes in the water and Ralph sitting beside me saying look at those penny winkles, go ahead and play with them. I could remember every time I went back to the house there was always something cold to drink in one of her many metal cups. I didn't see them much in the last 5 years, but I never stopped loving them or thinking about them. I will always hold those memories I have close to my heart forever more. Uncle Ralph and Aunt Vivian are aboard the Vivian O in heaven and are having the times of their lives, I just know it. I love you all very much!

When I read the passing of your dad I wondered how your mom would do without him? I lost my mom and dad 3 months apart.I look back at the times we had in Coke,Va.Your mom was full of life.
Please let me know if I can do anything.

Delores and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your Mama's and your Daddy's passing. I remember them both when we were growing up, but your Mama was always special to me. She loved to talk and laugh and "carry-on" like I did, and we had a great time whenever we saw each other. My heartfelt sympathy to you all during this time of loss. Cindy Shackelford Anderton
