Oh, this saddens me so! Tennessee was one of the most awesome people I have ever met. He was always so friendly and generous, as is Carol. What a perfect match!
You have all been through so much heartache, I always have you in my prayers. Carol, I know how much you loved that man, and how much he loved you and the family you have together. Please keep fighting the battle with your health. Your family needs you. And your friends do too.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you all!

Dearest Carol and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. Tennessee was an amazing man! Certainly the only man I would have ever allowed to call me "shoogie boogie". I will never forget him. You are an amazing family and together you can endure anything. Lots of love to you all.
Kim and Dave

"Tennessee" as we knew him. My brother and I would always look forward to seeing him when we visited Boscobel. He was the nicest guy, always waving with a smile. He will be missed

To Carol and Family
Just read about Morris's passing. You have my heartfelt sympathy. I worked right next to Tenn. for many years. We worked hard, and we always had fun with each other. I have many fond memories, at good ol' John Deere, with him. He always had good things to say about people. He will be truly missed, by you his family, and all his friends, including me.
I didn't know he was in a nurseing home. Could you tell me what happened? How is your health Carol? Some day, if you have time, let me know, all the details.
