Earlene and I were "study buddies" at AB Tech while we were working on our Accounting Degree. Then we were co-workers at a local law firm for many years. Our families went fishing, swimming, etc at Fontana at my dad's boathouse. We had a great time. Our families also went to Myrtle Beach and had a blast. I still miss her very much as I'm sure all her family and many friends do.

Robert, I'm so deeply sorry to hear about Earlene's passing. She was so nice to me and made me feel as I was one of her classmates after Jack's passing. I know that you will truly miss her every day. I have you, your family and friends in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I lived closer in times such as these so that I could be there in person to share in your grief.

So Sorry to hear about Earlene. I saw her last after the store had been sold. She looked great, and I didn't know she was sick. My sorrow is with the family. She was a good person and at that time I lived near her. With loving memory.

Dear Robert and family,
You are in our prayers for the Peace and Comfort that only God can give you. We are saddened over the passing of Earlene. She and I were friends at both West Buncombe and Erwin. It was good to see her in June at the 55th Erwin Reunion. Cherish the memories you made with her and talk about her often to keep her spirit alive in your hearts. She will forever be in my thoughts.
Much love in Christ,
Jeanette Wright Parham and husband, Ed
