The New Prospect News by Iva Lee Rathbone
...
I have really had my sad time this week. Tuesday we got the news from Morganton, North Carolina, of my Uncle Garvin Ball's death. He passed away in New Jersey, where his wife, my Aunt Jerrie Ball, is from and they were there for his niece's wedding. He was 70 years old and was born in Del Rio on November 7, 1938. He had to be flown to Morganton on Wednesday. Friday evening a bunch of his nieces and nephews all started traveling to Heritage Funeral Home in Valdese, North Caroline, for the viewing and to be with our family members. He was my mom's baby brother and our Uncle Glenn Ball up I Ohio and Aunt Bobbie Jean up at Morganton are all we have left but we do have lots of cousins we love dearly.
Saturday evening at two o'clock we met at His Church Calvary the Assembly of God in Morganton for his funeral. We were seated like this three or four pews of us who were there to say goodbye. He came down here to us many times over the years and we returned the love in four fold I think. Gary Ball from Kentucky and the rest are from Tennessee. Harold Presnell, Glesma Banks, Jerome Owens, Justin Rathbone, Iva Lee Rathbone, Tank Cureton, Roy Cureton, Aurine Green, Rachel James, Doug Shoemaker, Joyce Shoemaker, Abbie Harrison, Austin Binkley, Tammy Binkley, Joe Daniel Presnell, Lanelle Presnell, Glenda Presnell, Dwight Presnell, Clayton Presnell, Gerald Presnell, Terry Ball, Pam Ball, Emily Ball, Uncle Glenn Ball from Ohio. Friday night more from Cocke County at the funeral home. Robert Dale Hall, Samuel Joseph Hall, John Edsel Green and Johnny Lee Green. Friday night a bunch of us stayed at the Holiday Inn and I wrote some of this in my 137 room. My son Justin and I shared the room and Tank and Roy was next door.
Saturday morning a group of us ate breakfast in the dining room and talked and talked some more. We left our rooms and went to our aunt Bobbie and Uncle Bud's house where we all caravanned to the church. There was about 20 cars. Garvin Ball was buried in his church cemetery that he loved so well. The church provided lunch for us and we all had to say goodbye with a lot of hugs and kisses. Words cannot describe the love we have for our Uncle Garvin and all our loved ones out in North Carolina and we don't worry about him cause he was ready to go. We will be waiting for them to come and see us and keeping them all in our prayers.
