When I visit my mom, I will spend a few minutes visiting Tash. Actually, I asked about him Tuesday evening while talking to mom and sister. I'll miss seeing him when I come to visit mom. My condolences to the family. Ida

We love you Croc! Oakview will never be the same without you!

My heartfelt condolences to the family and beloved friends of Elvin. Even though I have not seen him since entering the Healthcare facility. We attended A.C.Carter High School together. He was very friendly and funny in school. Everybody loved him. He was a faithful member of New Bethel Bapt Church until he entered the nursing home at his personal request. He loved the Lord and will always be remembered. Rest in peace, my friend. You've made it in! Now home with Jesus, your sweet mother and biological brothers. Former Classmate and Friend, Susan

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
