Mama and Daddy were married June 1st, 1957. They came from Union, WV in a 1947 Plymouth Dad bought from Ray VanStavern, who owned a Esso station in Union and sold used cars. The radiator in this car needed to be replaced in addition to a thermostat to prevent it from overheating. Daddy told me it took 10 gallons of water to make it from Union to Salem, Va. He stopped on Peters Mountain and on the top of Potts Mountain to fill the radiator with 5 gallons of water each time. He worked hard through the years in construction of highways, furniture factory employment and was employed by General Electric until the heart attack which disabled him at the age of 42. Before his illness whatever he needed to do to take care of Mama, myself and my sister he would do it without hesitation. He would build additions and complete houses for people in order to make sure we had all we needed and desired. Mama worked from the time I was 1 year old until the cancer she was fighting disabled her. She worked for 46 years and lived one year after she retired due to her illness. Before her illness she and Daddy worked every day and insured my sister and I did not do without. Our grandmother lived with us for many years and with my uncle and his family in Florida. Daddy loved Grandma as much as his own parents. It deeply hurt and affected him when she died. My most cherished memories are the hunting and fishing trips we participated in together. He and I had many successful outings and he taught me woodsmanship and marksmanship. He always told me he would not go hunting if he did not know where his rifle was shooting as he would not tolerate the wasting of game. This lesson helped me while in was in Army basic training in 1979. I qualified as an expert in marksmanship on the rifle range. He cared for people and always told us to always extend your hand to help your fellow man. He was instrumental in developing alcohol and drug treatment programs for GE employees. There are many stories to relay to everyone the things he accomplished. The special thing he did was be the caregiver for Mama when she was suffering from the cancer that took her life. He steadfastly supported her for 3 years right until she took her last breath. It took a toll on him and he was beginning to display the symptoms of the neurological disease which took his life. I miss them terribly but am blessed to have parents to watch over and nurture me throughout my childhood. I hope I can be the parent to Emilee as they were to Jackie and I. I know they are in Heaven celebrating with the family members who have gone before them. The last thing Mama told me was to act right so we can all be together in God's arms. Daddy always said to us that He is preparing a place for everyone. Good advice to take and we will see them soon. I love you Mama and Daddy, and thanks for the years we spent together.We will see you when the Lord figures our work is done.

As I read stories from my cousins there is always the same sentence, he never had a harse word towards his in laws. You see my Dad was an only child and he was alone a lot growing up and when he met my Mom wow she had 9 sibings so he always had company. He and my Mom were best friends heck they were best at everything..... When my Mom became ill in Feb 2003 my Dad was by her side till she went home to be with her lord and Savior. My Dad was never afraid of anything except being without the love of his life my mother Sue. They always took care of each other and were great role models for myself and my big brother Denny and lets not forget the love of their lives the grandchildren. My heart is so heavy and I miss him so much he always had a kind word and smile for us even through his terrible and most diffcult disease. He never complained. He was always worried about his kids and leaving them alone. I guess he remembered what it was like growing up. I love you Daddy and I miss you but I take comfort knowing you are with my Mom that you missed so much and you both suffer no more I know Mom was waiting there and boy what a reunion it was..... Thank you for being great parents and an inspiration to me. You are truely my hero and knight in shining armour. I love you so very much please give Mommy a kiss and hug and tell her I miss and love her dearly. Your loving daughter, Jackie

The Bible gives us the wonderful prospect of seeing our loved ones again on a paradise earth. At Psalms 37:9-11 & 29, it gives us the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. It will be a time when Isaiah 33:24 will take place and “no resident will say ‘I am sick.” On this paradise earth, Rev. 21:4 promises us that “death will be no more.” I know this may not relieve your deep grief at this time, but please take faith in God’s promises. I would like to share additional comforting scriptures with you, if you are interested, please email me at lex2005@mail.com

Sonny, along with Sue, his wife, and their children Denny and Jackie, were often visitors at the farm on Gates Road. We could never leave the dairy farm for long because of milking and feeding chores, but Dad's brothers and sisters and their families usually celebrated the big holidays with us. Sonny was often quiet, but knew (or had been a participant) in many of the funny stories that Sue, his wife, and Ann Hill (Ben's wife) shared with the crowd. They all seemed to enjoy their special times together.
Sonny will be sadly missed by those who knew and loved him. God's getting another good assistant.

I have so many wonderful memories of Fletcher and Sue and their never-ending dedication to Mason's Cove Church of the Brethren. Whatever the need...they were there. The same can be said of their commitment to the Mason's Cove Community in general as demonstrated by their work with the Ruritans and the Fire Department. But the kindness they showed my parents, Rodney and Dot Smith, through the years is the memory of this christian couple I will hold forever in my heart. To Denny and Jackie and their families, I am so sorry for your loss but I am comforted by the fact that your parents have been reunited in Heaven as mine have been.

I have so many memories of Sonny but they all include his wife, Sue who was my dad's youngest sister. It just seems to me that I never remember seeing one without the other. My dad insisted all his siblings and their children who were within 2 or 3 hour driving distance of our farm come to our house for holiday celebrations. Sue and Sonny, along with Denny and Jackie, always came. Sonny was quiet but such a good sport with my loud, sometimes way too loud, dad and uncles. I never heard him utter one word of complaint against his in-laws. Also, he and Sue were so good to my grandmother, Sue's mother, when she was alive. In fact, Grandma lived with them. That must have been hard on a marriage but again, never a word from Sonny except praise and love for his mother-in-law. He and Sue raised 2 great children and were very proud of them as well as their children. Sonny will be missed. May he rest in peace and may we all be happy knowing he and his beloved Sue are together again.
