    I am so sorry to hear of Erlena ‘s passing. Had lost touch with her over the years. I was in junior high with her, she was a grade ahead of me, but i still remember her jolly nature and standing out side the red brick building waiting for the bell to ring. She was such a sweet person that I never forgot her. May GOD be with you, the family, at this time and keep you in his care. Sincerest sympathy, Joyce Hensley Phillips, Tazewell,TN.

    Randy, Jim, Bobby, & family members,
    I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. Erlena was a GREAT lady, I loved her so much. I always enjoyed working with her at Schulz’s & enjoyed running into her wherever it might have been since she had quit. She always made me smile. Just remember her and David are together now & will be waiting for us to see them again. All her pain is gone, I know it will be hard for you, just remember she was a great mother & loved you so much.
    I can’t make it to the funeral, but my thoughts will be there.
    My deepest sympathy,
    Vickie Ritter

    Jimmie, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I so enjoyed our gripe sessions in the breakroom. We solved many of our own problems and the worlds problems. We even griped because no one listened to us. I will always remember her sunny smile and warm heart. We have all lost a dear friend and our hearts are breaking but, she told me once that she couldn’t wait to see David again and know he was happy. Now they will both be waiting for us when it is our turn. My prayers are for you now, she doesn’t need them anymore. Sending you a very warm hug. Bonnie
