Gramps, what I'd do to get one more great big bear hug from you. It's so hard to believe it's been 11 years you've gone home to be with grams, but I can't help but be selfish and wish you was still here with us. It would be so different, your daughter i don't think would be in the health she's in today but her heart aches so much for missing her mom, dad, her son and brother. She also does so many things to remind me.of you. It's like she's a twin of us at times but it brings me joy knowing she has so much of your blood in her. But I'm also selfish with her and can't let her come see you and grams yet sorry but we need her here we love and miss you deeply please watch over Stella and keep her with us we aren't ready for it but know the days/months/ or years are numbered .. love you lots and we shall meet again one day till them RIP

We know you can no longer stay with us,
you fought long and hard to be with us.
We know you now watch over and protect us,
Although we cannot hear your voice or see your smiling face,
We know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us.
Instead everyday you surround us with the singing of the birds,
the rising of the sun and the falling of night.
So many broken hearts are left behind,
But in our deepest despair our greatest comfort lies knowing
that you are now at peace with the angels and God.
So as times passes our tears will dry,
our hearts will mend
but our love for you will never end.

Oliver was a coworker at Wal Mart. He called himself an old ridge runner from WV. At 80 yrs old he was keeping up with us sometimes maybe a little slower . RIP Oliver.

We first met Ollie when we ran Bud's Produce in Jacksontown. He'd bring in fresh stuff from his garden. Later, we liked to greet him at Walmart. He was a joy to talk with. For the family, please accept our condolences. We already miss him. Don, Sue and Aaron McFarland (formerly of Bud's Produce).

I remember Mr. Brown from Wal Mart, but my favorite memory of him was when I met him at his sons house, and we sat out on the patio, and I actually got to know him the man, other than the Wal Mart Greeter. Rest in Peace Mr. Brown. My condolences to Roland, Dan and Estelle and the rest of the family.
