Al & Glenn, I’m so sorry to hear about Reba. Growing up in the same community, I always looked up to Reba and I will remember her as your big sister. She was an exceptional and special person all of her life. May your memories and your faith help to sustain you during this time. Carolyn Lynch Davis
Fred, Laura, Caleb and Jacob, My heart went out to you all when I heard of the loss of such a strong and wonderful woman as Mrs. Bone. I wish so much that I could be there to offer you my support during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers and have my love always.
Mrs. Bone was a wonderful chemistry teacher at RMSH. More importantly, she was nice and very funny especially about her lawnmower. She spoke often of her son and it obvious how much she loved him. Mrs. Bone will be missed.
Fred, my condolences to your family on your loss. While I did not know your mother, I did know your father and I am sure she was as good a woman as he was a man. Kent Younce

Fred and Laura, your mother lighted up so many lives. I know you will always have wonderful memories of her just like I do my mother. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Fred, I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was one of my favorite people while I was at RMSH (class of 1986). I remember all the band trips she chaperoned, and I had many chances to talk with her on those long bus rides. She was such a wonderful, caring person, and she always was willing to listen and help me. My family and I have often thought about you and your parents through the years. Please know that you are in our prayers. With great sympathy, Michele Clark
Mrs. Bone was my chemistry teacher at Rocky Mount Senior High School. She was a wonderful teacher and one of my favorites. I am very sorry to hear of her passing.
