Our community extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Robert Lee Jones, who died Sunday of last week at Gordon Hospice House after several years of declining health. He was born in Alabama in 1953 to the late Vernon and Estelle Jones. He and his wife Wanda, whom he married in 1985, were co-owners of Diane’s Diner for several years and at that time made their home on US 64 just west of the South Yadkin River. He and Wanda, who died in April 2019, loved music and were active Moose Lodge members.

We send get-well wishes to James Barker and Betty Lou Richardson. James has been at Iredell Memorial Hospital. Betty Lou fell last week and broke her hip and wrist; she has been hospitalized at Iredell Memorial and is in rehab there. Becky Galliher and Ed Williams are recuperating at their respective homes after successful surgeries last week. Faye Stroud continues to rest at home while under treatment for cancer by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Bob Lewis continues to have in-home Hospice care.

Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon James, Betty Lou, Becky, Ed, Faye, Bob, and other residents who are having health problems. Remember in prayer the family of Robert as they adjust to life without him.                         .
