Julia asked that her nephews serve as pallbearers. They are Bryan Branch, Mike Anders, Brad Anders, Gary Anders, Keith Branch, Daryl Medley, Daniel Burnett and J. C. Anders.
The family and Julia request that in lieu of flowers that you take the one(s) that you love the most to dinner and make it a time to tell them just how much they mean to you. Someday you won’t have that opportunity and we don’t believe you will regret filling this request. Let us know if this has a meaningful outcome for you. “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13
The family will receive friends at Son Light Baptist Church, 6494 Son Light Way, Knoxville, TN 37918, August 8 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm with the service at 7:00.
