Steve, Tammy and family, I am praying that God will take away you pain and grief. If you remember what the Bible says. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord." He is in no more pain, he is sick no more. I trust you know you will see him again someday.

To the Waddell Family, not only did we simply adore Mr. Waddell we respected him. Mr. Waddell was one of the most loyal, respectable, considerate and humble Scott boosters that there ever was. Those alumni's that remember those chili hot dogs and his dedication to pleasing the students will always remember the popcorn and conversations. He showed leadership and what a true Scott Bulldog booster is about.
Rest in peace!

Verdis and Verna Chears and the entire Chears Family.

Papa...I still can't believe that you're gone. Seems like it was only yesterday that you had us piled up in the church van, going to conventions, spending outrageous amounts of money at McDonalds (why did you let me order for everyone??), eating candy and drinking pop even though you weren't supposed to. Although it's hard to let go, I cherish the memories that we have. You showed me what a real man is supposed to be like, how a devoted Christian walks, and the true meaning of family. I'm proud to say that I know where you are...and in that place there are no more hospitals, no more medicines, no more pain, and especially no more doctors :) I know you and Brothe Goodloe are having the best time ever...I can see you smiling now. Even though I may cry, I hope you know they are tears of joy because you are in eternal bliss. I love you always...love you granddaughter..."Italian"
