  1. Our Thoughts and Prayers

    I have not seen Mr. Beck in many years, so I’m sure he would not know me. But I remember him, from my teenage days working at Smith’s Market in South Hill. Mr. Beck made weekly deliveries to the store. I remember him as a hard-working man, always ready with a smile and a pleasant comment. I also went to school with Sheila, who was always a smart, super nice person. A good reflection of her father. I am sure he will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with Sheila and the rest of the family during this time of great loss.

  2. Great memories

    I am very sadden today hear of the passing of my Uncle Lawrence. There are so many great memories of going to see him and Aunt Seretha and my cousins as we would get to South Hill. We always felt very welcome there . My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to his family. God bless you all.
