Tolleson is a warrior getting up on stage. Thanks brother.

Amanda got Lash a spot in the woods.

Perfect.

Very nice service for Lash. I was in tears and have been for days here in TN. We haven’t been part of you all for a long time but so love every single one of you like family. Prayers in the coming days as the silence becomes burdensome than you realize once everyone has “gone” home.

Julie has been traveling. She got home just now and I told her…..

Like Lash I grew up here. Have hundreds of friends local.

CottonLand though, it’s truly beyond friendship. Sure, we all have our small groups and close friends but when the time comes, this Group becomes family.

Huge turnout from the close CLC family and extended family from Arkansas, Texas, and beyond.

Amanda is going to be covered up with family for a bit but life for others will resume and she will be there.

That’s when we all need to step in and make sure she knows it’s real. This family. CottonLand.
 
Absolutely. Chris was perfectly himself today and I was glad to see all the CottonLand family on screen. Some of y'all at the back checking out each other's Windsor knots made me chuckle - y'all didn't know you were on camera yet.
 
This news hit way too fast.

My deepest condolences and sincere prayers for Amanda and family, including this club. Lash will be missed.

I’m still happy to drop more food as needed and they remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I texted with Amanda last night. She tells me they have plenty of food. Keep them in your hearts for the long haul.
 
Folks this is on my mind as I travel today….
In December lost Bryan Little, then lost Lash, last week many remember Fro and Murmy, Murmy went to be with Lord.
Today the old man down the road, was sent home on hospice for stomach cancer.

It’s hitting home and hurting a lot inside….. never have lost friends or family…..

Now I’m short few months, lost all these great people….

Just hurts, I’m so glad they were part my life and part of everyone who got to know them.


Gotta tell this, old man is die hard democrat…. Don’t care, we disagree but he’s been like a grandpa to me…. Never had one in my life. When building our house he would come watch progress and hang out. One day we were all talking and I snuck a Ben Carson sticker on his car….. old man can’t see…..

For weeks he drove around not knowing, one night on travel I get a drunken phone call from him….. “‘me and Ben are eating Oreos”
Haven’t smiled so big or laughed so hard. Normally he would cuss ya or tell you how wrong you were…… we agreed to disagree and enjoy our friendship.

Folks, life ain’t about money, cars, or wealth…. It’s about the experiences, people and places along the way. Each person above shared part of my life, your lives, or moments I’d give anything to have one more, or just to tell how much they meant.

In last few months, told a lot of folks I love them….. why, cause I want them to know I care, good or bad, left or right….

Your a friend, thank you for that!

Now, to wipe tears off and get on a plane home…..

Truth.

I’ve seen my share. War, divorce, death, mom’s cancer, lost a child in the womb, and watched others do the same and worse.

1. God is sovereign and we can’t question him
2. I have zero shame in saying I’ve gone to 3 counselors in 4 years for all of it. Unload it… here… or somewhere. The stages of grief are real.
 
Folks just gotta put this out there…..
got call today no one wants- my dad had passed away. Can’t say how many bandanas I have cried through today.

Many of yawl meet dad at events or him riding shotgun with me. From Tellico to Maob, he was there.

I entered the automotive industry following him, I still remember as kid going to work with him in Detroit Hamtramck, as kid walking through running auto plant. Then after we moved, the Corvette plant was next.
I couldn’t understand someone getting paid to fix issues and not do manual labor….. remember this was 8-10 years old.

Miss you pop, thanks for steering me the right way, even when I made hard turns.

Biggest thing, in my early 20s I could have ended up bad, he handed me legal paper, said you make bad choices, rent, gas, food, insurance, all yours now. Best thing he ever did.

Love you pop.

Man Cluchee. So sorry to hear that. We'll say a special prayer for you tonight.
 
Clutchee, I never met your dad, but if you’re the product of his directions, he must’ve been a good dude! So sorry for your loss. If we, as children, live long enough, we’re all gonna be there; however, that doesn’t make it any easier.

Big time prayers, friend.
 
Clutchee,
May I extend my condolences to you and your family.
 
So sorry to hear this Clutchee. Thinking of you and the rest of the family and wishing you all the best in a difficult time.
