Early-on during the 10 years my wife and lived on Wheeler Mountain and began attending Mt Crest Methodist Church. It was then we met most of the Frazier family (Viola, Ed and Dennis). Turned out we were praticall neighbors as we lived on Cove Hill Road and the Fraziers lived on Panter Bottoms Road.
So many people made us feel very welcome and much like home but, no one more then The Fraziers! All 3 joined their loved ones in Heaven along with my wife Sherry Ann (1943-2021).
Will stop by the cemery and pay my respect next time I’m in town! God Bless the loved ones left behind!!!
