Prayers for the family 🙏🏻My Uncle Therman was always making us smile and laugh even when he was sick he will be greatly missed.
Fond memories of Therman. He had a special way of making everyone feel welcome. At Pam and Louies wedding he danced up a storm and I still have a copy of the ceremony and dinner and DJ in the fellowship hall. Thank you for your service and may you now rest in peace.
Deepest regards to the family for the loss of Therman. Prayers and comfort for all at this difficult time.
Therman was an absolute treasure to everyone who knew him. He was always gentle, loving and kind to myself and the twins. He was also very clever and funny. There was never a time that he did not put a huge smile on my face. He always made us feel like we were important to him every time we talked. To Duke, Barbara, Linda, Louie, and all of the kids-we are so sorry for the loss of this great man. We know you will miss him dearly, as will we.
Love, Laura Will and Emmy
sending my deepest condolences to your family will keep you all in prayer.
I will always remember your smile and your sensitivity to others. You were truly a good man and will always be in my heart. We that really knew you are sad, but, the real truth is you have never been more happy.
Say hi! to Sis, because, I know the two of you are talking
Love you !
Therman was such a character. I was blessed to know him and some of his family. RIP Therman.
What can I say about my Uncle Therman words are so hard. He always made me laugh every time I saw him. His version of scrambled eggs was stirring them up in the frying pan when I would spend the night as a kid. He tormented us with his stain glass bluegrass every Sunday morning with speakers in every room to make sure we got up early but as I got older I actually enjoyed it. He was worried about me moving by myself as a women to Myrtle Beach Sc just showed how much he cared. I have so many wonderful memories and stories with him. I will miss him terribly but I know he is in heaven with his Lord and no more pain he will have. Fly high Uncle and know I will always love you forever more!!❤️❤️
