I was so sad to hear of the passing of J.C. I knew him as one of my best friends, Richard's papaw. Many times I visited his home and was offered a fried pie and a glass of milk. I regret not being able to attend his visitation or funeral. I love his daughter Ellen and son-in-law Rick as well as their kids, Crystal and Richard. He will be greatly missed.
We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. J.C. was such a kind and caring person to all. His smile would always bring out a smile from others. He will be greatly missed. Please know you all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
With Our Deepest Sympathy,
Kevin and Ann Cartwright
