Folks in County Line enjoyed the warmer temps alast week, but we know freezing temps are yet to come. Last Sunday was an inside day for many families as it was “Super Bowl LIX” Sunday – a time of family gatherings, bowl parties, and watching pre-game events; then there was the game, as the Eagles trounced the Chiefs. Just think of the tons of money lost in betting on the favored Chiefs to win again.

He was born in 1977 in Forsyth County to Randy Godbey and Delores Sexton. He enjoyed fishing and working on cars. A memorial service will be conducted.at a later date in Eaton Funeral Chapel.
We send get-well wishes to Donnie Keller and Janie Williams. Donnie was critically injured in a motorcycle accident last week, was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, and put on a ventilator; he has improved and is in a regular room in Reynolds Tower. Donnie is a son-law of Martha K. Lambert and husband of her daughter Stephanie. Janie Williams became worse while in rehab and has been in Forsyth Medical Center. Caleb Williams is at Duke for an MRI and other tests to find what is causing his fatigue.
Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon Donnie, Janie, Caleb, and other residents who are having health problems. Pray for the Lord’s comfort and support upon the family of Michael as they deeply miss him in life. Continue to remember in prayer the victims of the fires in California and the flooding of Hurricane Helene in our mountains.
A GoFundMe page has been setup to help with the long-term recovery expenses of Donnie Keller: https://gofund.me/04dc3d48.
Here’s wishing everyone a loving happy Valentine’s Day Friday, Feb. 14.
