We are so sorry for the loss of
your mom. We knew her only for a short while but we loved her as though
we knew her for years. We will keep her and your family in our prayers.
~ Tracy & Harriette Love, Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina December 27, 2010
To Ruth's family, please
accept my sincere condolences during this time of loss and sorrow. I met
Ruth and Jimmy years ago through Doris and Gean Reynolds, who were my
in-laws at the time. I have many happy memories of both of them, fun
times we shared together. They were both wonderful people and I pray
that they are at peace and that the family will, in time, be comforted
by their memories.

Laura, I was so sorry to read
about the loss of your mother. I remember her well and always thought a
lot of her. I also did not know that your dad died last year. Again
Barry and I are so sorry about your losses. I know what a difficult time
it is.

Our deepest sympathies are extended to Laura and her family and friends at this difficult time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
When life’s toils are ended,
And parting days have come,
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Ne’er from Thee I’ll roam,
If Thou’ll only lead me, Father,
Lead me gently home.
* Refrain:
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
In life’s darkest hours, Father,
When life’s troubles come,
Keep my feet from wand’ring,
Lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
