Rollie served his Lord, Family, and Country with honor. Kim and I send our thoughts and prayers to Julia and the entire family of Rollie. God Bless. Love, Kraston & Kim (Tustin CA)
I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Simps passing. He was always someone who had a big smile on his face. I am so glad I was able to spend time with you and him when you were home in Murfreesboro that last visit. I will miss him and send my prayers to you and the rest of the family.
Judy, your family were our neighbors on James Connally, and you were one of my teachers at Connally High.
Glenda was a yr. ahead of me in school. My mom, Jeanne Henry corresponded with you each Christmas, until her death on 4/23/16. God bless you and your family in the loss of Whit. Vicki Henry Yowell
