My sympathies to Ms. Forestine and all you children in the loss of your precious loved one. Mr. Tig was a fine man who not only “talked the talk” but “walked the walk”. He will be sorely missed.
Gerene and family, we are so sorry for the loss of a dearly loved one! Mom wants you to know she is praying for you all. Praying Gods loving peace will be with all the family. Love and prayers from our family!
Dear Aunt Forestine and all of my cousins, I am sad for your loss, but happy too that Uncle Tig is in no more pain and is in Heaven. I wish I could be with you as you were with me when my dad came to Kentucky for burial. Your family is so loving and I extend mine to you during this time. Prayers!
Sorry for your loss Ms. Forestine and children, My brother ( John L. Adkins) and I worked with Tig years ago at KY Carbon at phelps. He was a fine hard working man.
Thank you so very much. Daddy talked fondly of the men he worked with at Ky. Carbon.
