May the many wonderful memories of your love one comfort you, and may you find peace with your family during this most difficult time. My family extends our heartfelt sympathy to the entire family of Uncle Albert. I am sad to say I am unable to attend the homegoing service because of the distance, I have to be available to meet my son's school bus. Please let it be known that a giant of a man has crossed over to meet his maker, He will definitely be missed in Fentress. Uncle Albert loved his North Carolina family, and we always tried to visit with Uncle Albert and Aunt Mary when we were in the neighborhood. Sincerely, Margarette Etheridge. and my siblings, Chuck, Bea, Phyllis, and Jean Kay (Argie's children) from Poplar Branch, N.C.(Currituck County). "Be not dismayed what e'er be tide, God will take care of you".
