Not sure what to say?

Christine and Family, Emmogene and Elouise and Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Garmon was a lot like his dad, my Uncle Hanford, whom I dearly loved. I saw Garmon just a few weeks ago when my brother died. He and I talked about the old times-- when my dad would bring us all to the country. He also talked about staying with my mom and dad in the city when he was younger and we both had to laugh when he stated "your mom was always pregnant". (She had seven kids). May...

To Christine & Family,
I want you to know that you have my sympathy in the loss of Garmon. I remember your family from many years back and Christine and Garmon traveling on their tour bus to numerous churches and venues blessing all those that heard their sweet harmonies and spreading God's message in song. It's no telling how many lives they have touched with their singing. The angels in heaven are rejoicing to add one more beautiful voice.
God Bless all of you in your time of...

Robin, I have such good memories of those times when I would come over to your house "back in the day". Your parents always made it a warm and comfortable place to visit.I am saddened that it is only at this time of your loss that I have been able to let you know that I still think fondly of those times. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Take care and God Bless.

Tonya and Family,

Thinking of you all.
With love,

To Garmon's family,

You don't know me but Garmon was a customer of mine at Food Lion in Blue Ridge. He would stop there on his way home from Bedford I believe when he was still working. He was just the nicest man and I always looked forward to talking with him when he came in. Working with the public can be challenging but people like Garmon could turn a bad day into a good one. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Garmon's Family,
I had the wonderful privilege of knowing this man in ways that are different from family and friends. He was a customer of my Company, Hickory Springs, for many years. In my thirty-six years of being in the furniture business, I never met a brighter,more articulate, sensitive and caring man. He epitomized the phrase "gentleman" in every way. I respected all I knew about him and he spoke often and joyfully about his family. Who can ever forget that radiant smile...

Hiya folks,
We love you folks and want to let you know that you are in our prayers and thoughts.

We will be with our good buddy in heaven when we can sit and talk as long as we wish.

Have a blessed day. Hugssssss to all of you.

Robin,
I have been lifting you and your family in prayer ever since I heard about Mr. Conner. Wayne and I send our condolences. We will always remember his warmth, kindness and sense of humor.
