I was Mr. Blackmon’s Visiting Angel for a short time but I remember him fondly. He would sit quietly and listen as I read some daily devotionals or Bible verses to him or he would watch an animal channel on TV. Rose was such a blessing to him, so patient and loving.

Daddy, we loved you so much! We know you are at peace now. We are so grateful we got to care for you through your illness. You were a wonderful father to your girls! We love you and we will miss you dearly but we know we will see you again.
"Crunch, crunch!"
Love your girls,
Sue, Rose Mary, June and Beth.
Thanks to my brother Eddie for being there for me when I was burned ❣️️. You were the only one who was there for me. I know you are with Jesus, June, Virginia and Delores. Peace and Love! Your sister, Charla💖
Mr. Blackmon was a great father to the girls after their mother passed. He was always on duty tending to their every need. He sure was good to keep the cupboard full cause when cruising on bicycles around the neighborhood there house was a place to stop and eat. Pimento cheese and Campbell soup were special recipes served at almost anytime I would stop by. After graduation I went into the Air Force and he always had kind words to say about our youth years how much he agreed with my decision to serve. He was always attentive to what I had to share. Many fond memories of Mr.Eddie and our relationship. Much Respect! Until we meet again! Mr.Jimmy
