Prayers for the McCurry family, we have such good memories of Mrs. McCurry from when we moved to Jonesborough several years ago, lived few houses up from them. We remember the chocolate cakes Mrs. McCurry baked around Christmas and still talk about it each year.
We are so thankful for knowing Mrs. McCurry and having such great neighbors.
I called her “Mom”. I’m so lucky to have been a part of this sweet families circle of life. Our dinners and lunches, our gardening together, and our time just sitting outside . We will miss you dearly, sweet Kathleen.
