I am so sorry for your loss.

By any chance did Edith Robinette teach school in Burke's Garden (Tazewell County), VA?

Rita and Family: Our prayers are with you in the passing of your Mother. I have fond memories of her, she was an encouragement to me when I was growing up in the Atkins Church and after I entered the Ministry she continued to do so each time I came home to visit. We were fortunate to have my Mom for 92 years and still miss her, I am sure you feel the same.

We were sorry to read of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful lady and we're sure that she will be missed. I had recently asked about her at a Fifth Sunday Singing and spoke to your aunt just this past Sunday in Marion.We will be remembering your family as you go through these next difficult days and weeks. May God bless you all.
