In memory of Edna Anderson May 11, 1931 - Nov. 28, 2013

Its been three years now since Jesus called you home. There’s not one day or minute that goes by that I don’t think of you. I miss you so much Mama. The tears flow daily. What keeps me going is that I know one sweet day we will all be together again. In God’s home. Oh how precious it will be to see you and Daddy as a family should be. No more tears, no more sadness for me. Forever in my heart.

He said there will be four new firemen sent up today to relieve those sent Monday evening. According to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, state agencies and local officials evacuated thousands of residents and visitors from Sevier County on Monday night due to the wildfires in and around the cities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. “It is very likely 14,000-plus residents and visitors evacuated from Gatlinburg alone,” TEMA’s AP/PhotoCourtesyofBriannaPaciorka/KnoxvilleNewsSentinel Dave Flener said.
