When I was growing up I went to church with Bill, Lola and all their children. After Lee Roy and I married, we bought a small farm that was within 1/2 mile of Bill's home in Pisgah Forest. He and Lola were always played a special part in my life and will be deeply missed. I can't express how much I enjoyed visiting Lola and Bill's home when I was a teenager or how I loved looking at Bill's Christmas decorations every year at Pisgah Forest. I don't think any man enjoyed Christmas any more than he did. Bill's parents, Hansel and Mary, were the closest friends that my mother had. When she had a spiritual problem she always turned to them for prayer and guidance. As long as I live I will carry with me the deep respect and love that I have for this whole family. They are truly special people.
