Greg, Scott, and families,
I just learned that Mrs. Tynes has passed on and I was saddened to hear it. She was a great lady to me even though I gave her trouble in class. I know she and Bro. Tynes are happy to be together again. May God bless y'all until you see them again in Heaven!

Greg and Scott - You both know that your mom (and dad) were very special to me (and my family). I have many fond memories of shared laughter and shared sorrow with both of them. I'm sorry that I have not been able to keep in touch with her over the years. But, I know you took good care of her. I know that she and Bro. Jamie are both now residing in God's eternal resting place where there are no earthly worries or fears.

Greg and Scott, your mom played the organ at our wedding, and your dad performed the ceremony at Pine Grove Baptist Church,Heidelberg in 1967.They were both special people whom we loved dearly. My mom was Mary Thatch, but you probably don't remember any of our family. I remember that your mom wrote in my gift that I would be a special preacher's wife and a preacher's special wife. I have never forgotten that in these 42 years of marriage. I know you will miss your mom so much because there is nothing quite like losing your mother. May God bless you and all the family.

Dear Family,
Our family ties are strong but our numbers are growing smaller. Patty, you looked so much like your Mother when I last saw you at our Cliburn Reunion of 2006. My heart is with all who loved you so very much.
