Beautiful tributes of love, honor and gratitude were extended by family and friends at services held recently for Sharon Winstanley, Jan Clarke; Brian Wheeler; Brittany McClendon; Hugh Augustus McClellan; Bonnie Jean Eyler; Mr. Buddy Graham; Marion Delcomyn Seward; Donna M. Wilson; Hieu Manh Nguyen; Candace Ruth Johnson; Barbara Carpenter and Sandra Cholar Cain.
