Jayne,
We are sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. We wondered who would go first, my mom (Frances Campbell) or your dad. They went very close. You were an inspiration to us each time we saw you at Ridgeview Terrace caring for your dad and walking him in the hallways. You and your family are in our prayers at this time. Heaven gained two wonderful saints at Christmastime.

David & Jayne,
We just heard of Chattie's passing. We are so sorry...May God be with you and the family to ease your sorrow. He was a sweet and special man and as we loved your Mama we loved him too. I know he is with you sweet Mama now and she never wanted to be far from him so I can just see her running toward him with wide open arms and welcoming him home to Heaven with the tightest hug she could give. They were blessed to keep their "sweetheart" love their lifetime together and that is so special in a couple.
Love and Prayers,
Jeanne & Mike Turner
Grace, Brian and "Shay" Black
