CEDAR MOUNTAIN NEWS FOR THURSDAY 4-25-24

NOT AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

Dear readers, I was at a campground where the internet was not working on Tuesday and asked Christine to fill in for me.  She could not access the Cedar Mountain News email to get new news.  I am sending this version to all on my subscription list and posting it on Next Door so many will get this week's news even if late.

Thanks to Christine for pitching in and getting some news to the T Times for us.

RICHIE WILKINSON TRIBUTE

Richie Wilkinson, our artist-friend, our special pal, and our spontaneous party planner took her leave from us to become a heavenly hostess to the many friends and family members who have left our midst.  What will we do without our social butterfly? Richie shared her hearth and home with old friends, new acquaintances, and anyone she encountered in her antique shop, at the Music Center, or in the moment! If you met Richie, you became her fan.  Her life was fully engaged. 

She traveled and lived in many places, but Greenville, California, and Cedar Mountain were her favorite spots. Keep her husband John, her son, John Fabio, and her sisters, Mary Ellen and Happy in your thoughts and prayers.  If you want to learn more about her interesting life, call her friends and family.  We like talking about Richie!
