Where my family first moved to Mtn.Home we attended church with the Skiver family. Never knew a nicer family than Jerry and Connie. I don't know how I missed this until now, but I am deeply sorry. Many prayers for all your family. Linda Hicks

My dog, Bubba, and I will miss exchanging pleasantries and waves with Mr. Skiver. We have enjoyed chasing moles in the Skiver yard and hearing squirrel trapping stories from Mr. Skiver. Our condolences to Mrs. Skiver and the whole family. His giant smile will be missed.
