Tina and Libby, your parents were wonderful people. They often gave of your home to make us students feel that we had a home. They were truly special and all of our lives were enriched by theirs. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Kerry McCarty called me and let me know of your recent loss.

Dear Tina and Libby,
It feels like a million years since I have seen the two of you, but the happy memories have not faded a bit in all this time. Kerry McCarty called to tell me of your father’s passing and it broke my heart. What is particularly difficult about this loss is that I had just been thinking so often of your father over the last few weeks and wondering how he was doing. I guess the bonds and connections to people we care about don’t really go away over the years. There are no words to express what all of you meant to me during my college years at Tech. Your parents were really special people … two of the kindest, most loving and generous people I have ever known, to say nothing of how much fun they were to be with. (Remember the Dandelion wine?) To open your home to all of us with such unconditional love and acceptance was truly a treasure to us. I know we expressed our appreciation at the time, but I am sure it was never enough. They will be in my heart and memories for the rest of my life. I lost my parents in 1984 and 1988 and I know how difficult it is to get through this. I hope you know that all of us who know and love you are keeping you in our prayers. May God give you peace and healing from your pain.
With much love,
Lauranne (Close) Nash

Tina & Libby: I'll never forget your Dad, and all he meant to me during my years at Tech. His "few thousand words", his job with the roosters, the TP (unscented only!) coffee filters, the Louisiana chicory coffee, "Seminar" and so many more things that made him so special! He and Madame Queen always made me feel like family, and I'll never forget them. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

We are very sad today, but know that Uncle Jimmy is in a better place. I too am sorry I can't be with you tomorrow. I'm so glad he was able to come to the Hyde family reunion with me after Stephanie's wedding.

Libby and Tina: Words cannot explain the feelings we have for you today. So sorry we can't be there with you. Your Dad was a great man and we always loved being with him. You will be in our thoughts during this time. Pat and Keith
