Dear Bill & Linda,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She and your Dad were the best neighbor's ever. We loved them both, and have such great memories of when we lived in Blackwater. Your Mom was so giving and we just connected. We were blessed to have known her. I know she is now in a wonderful place. We are praying that God will give you peace during this time of great sadness.
Love, Earl & Shelia Walker

Dear Bill and Family,
We were so very sorry to hear of Betty's passing. We did not know until late Sunday evening so we were unable to attend the services.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time and if we can do anything please let us know.
God bless you all!
Love Mary Anne and Hammer

My friend and second cousin, I'll miss you so much. When I ride out to Blackwater it will never be the same. I'll miss you friendly smile and warm greeting. I have so meny memories of the farm, or families getting together as we grew, and as an adult I always felt I was welcome.
