I went to church with Mr. Ragsdale at the New Elliott Baptist Church when I was a little girl and was fortunate to reconnect with Him when my Dad, Buck Edwards was his new neighbor at Cedar Creek in Lowell last fall. He made sure to welcome my dad right
away remembering him from years before. He welcome dad to his table to share meals and reminisce. Mr. Ragsdale was a very sweet man and I'm positive that he walks in heaven with the Lord.
