Sorry for your loss prayers for strength and comfort at this time
Mr TL was a joy to me! He was always smiling and kind in my Sunday school class. Recently he was present during some live music in Salters and a couple of the older ladies remarked to him that they were ready to dance! His smile was beaming and he really enjoyed the evening. I’m so thankful to have known him. He was one of the “greatest generation”; and I will be forever grateful for his service, his friendship, and his beautiful prayers. I’ll see you again, Mr TL. Give Lib and Willard our love.
So very sorry. Mr. T L was such a fine man.
Rest in Peace Soldier. My Thoughts and Prayers for the family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. I had no idea he was 99. He was a nice man.
Mr. TL always made me and my family feel so welcome at Union, always greeting you with a pleasant smile. His presence will be deeply missed. Mr. Tommy, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Chuck and Michelle Easler
We will miss Mr. TL very much! May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time. Sending you love and prayers.
