Grandma, I wanted you to know that I considered Grandpa as one of my own Grandpa's. I will never forget the "rides" in the golf cart, having to go see all the plants Grandpa was so proud of. And the wonderful bird clock there in the office! I want you to know that you did a wonderful job on raising such a great family. I love you all. - Jeff, Courtney, Vance & Aubree Knowles God will bless you!

To: Norma and family. JV and you have been longtime friends. From sitting in the floor with you playing cards(in 1957) to all the trips JV made to bring my mother(Mary Davis) to the hospital from Perrin. On taking my aunt( Maxine Davis) out to Southland for burial and the minister did not show up and JV. did the service. He was an instution of Godliness, that I thought would always be here. Now he is with GOD waiting for you. Love to all the family.

Mrs. Plowman and family, Mr.Plowman was very special, I remember the time he picked Mike up in a hearse for his 50th birthday and took him to lunch. Mike use to call Mr.Plowman "TIMEX" because he would get sick and then bounce back, he took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. He was a very honorable man and always laughing. The Plowmans were wonderful in our times of sorrow. God Bless you and may the peace of the Lord cover you and your family.

I remember JV, along with other band sponsors, rolling on the ground in laughter, at a dude ranch on band tour, when the boys came down from their cabins to "entertain us". It was great having you both as sponsors and mentors. You will be greatly missed. My sympathy goes out to your family.
