Today I was thinking of James and Mary Lou Payne and me walking to McCaysville School PTA night. Also remembering when you both came to the 50th class reunion at the cabin. Love you, Patsy Godfrey Watkins

Mr. Phillips from what I can remember was talkative he never met a stranger. He was a good painter and a good grandad to Matt. We are so so sorry for your loss we love you, Mrs.Phillips, Diane, Matt and Norris. Love,Leslie Meatows and Charlotte Iler
