Tell Oletta & Marlowe I love them and miss them and have her sing my favorite song to you. I love you & miss you. See you again one day...... Tammy

Uncle Jerry,
I keep writing you and don't know where my entries are at. I miss you all the time. There are alot of things that come up when I'm doing something that will remind me of something you have done. Well, I'm all set to start going to college in the fall to get a degree in nutrition. I pray that you will be with me as I take my classes since it's been over 25 yrs since I've been in school. Can you believe Mary is graduating this year.... I can still remember the first time you took her to North Carolina alone when she wasnt even in school yet. I miss you & love you... I'll write back soon. Tammy

There are a lot of memories from the years working at Saddle Creek and all the Bar-B-Que's that took most of the night to cook. Lots of good memories. Our prayers are with you.
