Bio and Links
Bio Photo My name is Vickie. I grew up in Swannanoa, N.C. but now I live in Asheville. I enjoy researching family history and walking through cemeteries to read stones. Everyone deserves to be remembered after they physically leave us. Someone somewhere loved them. Thanks to the great contributors here at Find a Grave, I have been able to see the graves of many family members that I would have never seen if it wasn't for their generosity. It is so nice to be able to visit a loved ones grave and not even have to leave the house.

Graveyards

When my soul is restless
And things seem out of line,
I visit an old graveyard
To take a mystical step back in time.

I find the oldest tombstones
Then read the messages there;
I consider what their days had been
And how our lives in ways compare.

We all have lived though heartaches
As well as episodes of fun;
Surviving loss of loved ones,
And rewarded for a job well done.

Sometimes if I'm very still
I can hear what they have to say
And feel them reaching out to me
Grateful for my momentary stay.

Hi Vickie,
Due to a cemetery error, I had to transfer her memorial to Ashelawn Gardens of Memory. You might want to re visit and leave new "Flowers." I don't cut and paste, I only type out memorials, word for word. Lee

William Tolvin Jennings
I wonder if William was James J. Jennings and Sarah Henderson's child who was known as "Dink"?

I noticed that you have left quite a few "flowers" on F.A.G. memorial # 19402067 for William Tolvin Jennings. I have added a good bit more information to his memorial. When you get a chance, would you please take another look at his memorial? I am hoping that you might be able to help me. Thanks, Vickie.

I saw where you posted that you are related and wanted to let you know I just added a tombstone photograph. (I am not related.)

John O Oates
Hi Vickie,
I am just getting started on tracing Oates family history. I am related to a son of John; Cary Leonard Oates. I am finding this name in many variations. Have you already completed a family tree for John O Oates? If so, do you have it posted somewhere for public viewing that I may check it out?

Thanks,
M. Cathy Oates Dix
