I just wanted to thank everyone for all the phone calls, delicious food, cards, flowers, and many other acts of kindness. Milton will be missed by many. He taught us invaluable lessons. I still collect stamps and coins! The funeral was very uplifting and the family enjoyed the gathering afterwards at our dearly missed Uncle Clark's home.

I was so sorry to learn of Mr. Milton's passing. Heaven has gained Southern Gentleman who by now must be meeting all of the relatives he so digently researched. I will miss talking with him on Genealogy of Mathews County's Families...especially those lines we shared. I will always remain grateful for his help in proving my lines to join the DAR and Jamestowne Society. My deepest sympathy goes out to you Miss Eugenia. Sincerely, Elaine Hudgins Campbell
