  6. Tim and Chris,
    I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know she and Mother are having a wonderful reunion in heaven, reliving their weekly getaways to the A&W and all their other memories! I have missed your mom ever since we left Asheville; I loved her very much, and I have wonderful memories with all of you. My prayers are with you!
    Love,
    Margaret

  7. My prayers are with you. I have fond memories of Jane. She was one of my mother’s (Jeanette Britt)best friends in Asheville.

  8. So sorry for your loss. I remember Jane so well- the old swimming pool in the mountains. She and Charlie were wonderful friends of my parents. I remember her as warm and welcoming- and so much fun! Your Mother was a wonderful person!

    On behalf of the Staff and Clients at Western Carolina Rescue Ministries we send our love and prayers to you and your family.

    May you this day feel God’s peace, joy, strength and love. Please know that you are in our prayers.

  10. I pray that God will continue to encourage the entire Newcomb family in this time and beyond, as life without Jane’s presence must go on. I am inspired as I watch the faith of the Newcomb family amidst much adversity. You all are such witnesses to God’s grace, His strength and His mercy. It is my prayer that you will be comforted in this time by the Holy Spirit and by the fellowship of the Body of Christ, as you continue day to day. God be with you, and know you are loved.
