The Lord be with you at this time of graduation for your father and grandfather. Something so wonderful for him it is, but so difficult for you to have to part with him for awhile til you see him again in the glorious kingdom of God.

Jock will be missed a lot. We have been members of Hollins Rd Bapt. Church since the 50's and knew both he and Elenor. Wonderful folks. We also knew you children. Our hearts go out to each of you and you are all in our prayers. May God give you the strength, the comfort, and the peace that Only He can give. From all of us... and our families. ..Harry & Ann Willis and Lillie, Peggy, and Joyce & Ken (Blankenship)

Gift of Time Tribute
When I am gone,release me,let me go.I have so many things to see and do; you must not tie yourself to me with tears,be happy that we had so many years.I gave you my love,so you can only guess how much you gave to me in happines; I thank you for the love you each have shown,but now it's time I traveled alone; so grieve a while for me, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust; It's only for a while that we must part,so bless the memories within your heart; I won't be far away ,for life goes on, so if you need me, call and I will come; Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near, all my love around you - soft and clear; and then when you must come this way alone; I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home." Sorry to hear about your Dad.Will keep you all in my prayers
