Aunt Genny, Mike & Janice, and all who love Junior that I don't know, I know that you lost a lot, but your memories cannot be taken away. Hold them dear & bring them out often. More important, you know that you will see Junior again, and it seems that it won't be all that long before we do.
My deepest sympathy & love are with you.

Our hearts were with you during your recent loss. No doubt many of us would have been there with you except for the fact that we were burying our dad about the same time.
Sonny was a fine man and will be missed by many. Thank the Lord that we have absolute assurance that His grace is sufficient. Susan and I will be sending a memorial donation the church shortly.

Dear Family,
Just want you to know that we grieve with you and hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
Larry and Family
Although we were first cousins we did not get to visit much. But Junior was a GOOD man, a Godly man and I know I will see him in the new earth. May God bless each one of his family.
In our day to day business, there are times we never stop & tell someone just how much we think of them, appreciate them, or admire them. I hope that JR now knows just how much he meant to all of us.
JR was the type of person that could make you smile & be glad that you had gotten up that day. Whenever I would go over to his office we always ended up talking about grandkids. Lindsey & Logan were the apple of his eye. That smile of his would glow whenever he talked about them or the things he had done with them. He came into my office not long after the Disney trip & had to tell me all about it. He was so proud of those two grandkids!
JR was a dear friend & co-worker that will be greatly missed by all who knew him & worked with him.
May God bless each of you during this difficult time & may those "special" memories of JR be with you each day of your life.
Linda, my Prayers are with you and your Family. Jr. was great to work with and as my "Mailman" at the end of the day, he'd always take my mail on his way home.
God Bless your Family

To the Jetton Family,
We were honored to have known Mr. Junior here at the Forest division of Latco. I never personally met Mr. Junior, but felt like I knew him well. He was always so helpful and made me feel like every dumb question I asked was important. Many times he made me chuckle with a funny quip. He will be sorely missed.
I hope you and your family can find comfort in God's words.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Uncle Junior,
I believe that no one could have asked for a better uncle than you, the love that you shared with everyone was more than any person could have asked for. You have given love to all people and you hold a very special part in everyones heart, you will be missed but you are in gods hands and he will take care of you. Rest now you are in gods hands.
Love Philip

Linda and family,
I send you my heart felt sympathy. We here on South Mountain have lost a friend and neighbor. I will miss seeing Junior riding his lawn mower--many times he was on one side of the street mowing his lawn while I was on the other side mowing mine.
I smile when I think of the time not long ago when he called to me across the street to tell me a trip was planned and you two would be gone a few days. I assured Junior I would call the police if I saw a pick up backed up to the garage and people loading it up. He laughed and said, "No, no, don't call the police--just get a check!" I will miss him.
My deepest sympathy to the family. There was no finer friend or gentleman than Junior. May peace be with all the family and friends.
Dear Brother-We have been separated through part of our lives by geography and occupations but the blood in our veins bonded us together tighter than I ever imagined.I never felt as close to anyone as I have to you the last two months. I cherish the days that I spent helping take care of you at your home and in the hospital. Good-bye brother until we meet again in the Golden City. I love you. Mike
Very sorry to hear of your loss. All are in my prayers.
May God's mercy and grace comfort you and your family as you mourn your loss.
In Christian love,
Flois Belcher
Linda & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family during this very difficult time in your life. LInda and I used to work together at the Health Dept. in Russellville, you lived on Linker Mountain, and I admired you so much. To me you had the "perfect marriage". I know you will miss him deeply.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Linda,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Junior. I got into the poultry equipment business almost 12 years ago and met Junior on my very first sales trip. There are a lot of really fine people in our industry, but Junior was one of the best. He always treated me as if I mattered. He was never too busy for my calls. Truthfully, I don't think I've ever been at ease with anyone in our business as Imuch as I was with Junior. I will deeply miss seeing him in Atlanta this coming January at the poultry show. He always stopped by just to sit and talk. He was a true gentleman.
Junior is at rest now. May peace be with all his family, friends and coworkers.
With deepest sympathies for your loss. He will be missed greatly.
Shawna Cunningham
To the Jetton Family:
I send my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have known Junior for 25 years and am proud to call him my friend. I was fortunate to work for Junior in Russellville and later worked with him as his sales rep. I know how much he truly loved his family and how proud he was of his grand babies. I am truly blessed to know how he loved our Lord.
I will miss him for now....
May God Bless and send His comfort as only He can.
