Frances and family, we would like to express our sympathy to you in the passing of George. George and I did not see much of each other as I moved to Norfolk at the age of 16 in 1941. I will always be greatful to George for starting the beginning of the Roxobel/Kelford reunions. My wife Ruby and I have been ill now for some time and are so sorry we cannot attend his Service. May God help you in these trying times. Ruby and Julius Shoulars

Dear Frances and family, We are very sorry about George's passing. He was a good man who lived a long and good life. We always enjoyed his company at family reunions and activities in earlier years. Our prayers for comfort are with you now. Love, Lloyd and Martha Harrell

I was so sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Shoulars. He was such a sweet and loving man. I have nothing but good memories of the times shared with my family and yours and hope you have found peace during the holidays. With thoughts and prayers, Love, Jo Steve: I'm still not sure how to do any of the algebra that you taught me (since Mrs. Respess obviously couldn't) and Mrs. Shoulars, I am in my 27th year of teaching but it's high school English not math or history. e
