You will meet again soon. Take comfort in that promise!
So many memories of one of the kindest men I ever knew! An easy, gentle spirit who went about caring for Mildred and his sons.. Although somewhat of a loner, always was available when there was a need. Proud to call him friend!
It is with great sadness that I write this. MG was a wonderful man and a dear friend to my parents. The late Bo Gupton and Gail Gupton. When my daddy was sick MG didn’t miss a day calling me to check on him or me calling him to give him an update. He was so kind and thoughtful to me and my family. What a time they will have together, in heaven, as they catch up and start walking together again. It gives me comfort to know such good friends are together again. Cindy Gupton Roseberry (daughter of Bo and Gail Gupton)

Memories of Mr. Felton were how sweet and precious his spirit was! He always had kind words to say about everyone. He was very willing to be there for you if there was a need. He loved his family very much and would talk about them with such a tender heart. You were so blessed to have had him in your life. We know the family will miss him but he is home with his Savior now where he longed to be. What a glorious day he must be having! Keeping your family in our prayers! Jerry and Nancy Clark
Have many fond memories of Milburn. He was greatly admired by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel this road of sorrow. His sunset on earth, meant a glorious sunrise in Heaven. May the God of all comfort be with you.
