Greetings and prayers from the mountians of Peru. Grammy, Mom, Aunt Susan, Uncle Bill, and everyone, We wish we could have been there with you all over this time. The hardest part of Grandady's passing has been that we havn't seen him for 3 years, and we were hopeing to see him in a few weeks. We love you all, and hope to see you soon!

Aunt Annis, Janet, Billy & Susan:
Very sad to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. I have many good memories of riding in the back of the Rambler to the movies or other special places and good times at the house in Chesapeake spending the night with Susan. Uncle Bill was always fun to be with.
He always had antique cars on Thole St, and I remember he let me ride with him once, that was a big treat!
I can only imagine the loss you are feeling, my thoughts are with you through this...

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May God grant His love and peace to all as you say good-bye to your loved one. Steve and Elsie Weaver

We were so sad to hear of Bill's passing. We have very pleasant memories of Bill and Annis while camping at Rema, and sitting around the fire talking and eating. Bill was the one who encouraged us to join Tab after attending for several years, and eventually serving with him as a deacon. Our thanks to the Lord for giving us a friend like Bill, a man who served the Lord with joy and a twinkle in his eye.

So sorry to hear of Mr.Jolley's passing. He always put a smile on your face no matter what. He was the sunshine in your Sunday morning. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jolley family at this difficult time but it is a true blessing knowing that he is in the presence of our heavenly father.

Dear Susan,
I was saddened for you when I read that your Daddy passed away. I know that God will comfort you and your family at this difficult time. Praying for you, Anita Robinson (HEWACO)

Sue, Steve and Family...
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Whether he was keeping me from running into traffic on Thole Street on the way to children's church as a kid, or helping me 30 years later when I was church treasurer keep the Helping Hand budget straight, Mr. Jolley was always looking out for me. He modeled servant leadership, faithfulness, and humility to generations of Tab Church men just like me. He will be greatly missed. Liz and I are praying for all the family at this difficult time.

Michael Ball and family (San Antonio, TX)
