  1. Tribute to J.C. and Velda Oglesby

  2. In the day of their lives, they received blessings of richness and the darkness of tragedy. They lived their lives the best they knew how. They gave to the meek and the poor, and in return, received in the holiness of the Lord.

  3. I shall never forget the happiness in which my parents always portrayed. Even through the tough times and sad times, they showed a strength in which few have shown.

  4. In life and in death, they have left a legacy that will never fall. They loved each other for more than 60years. That love they shared with all those around them. We shall miss them greatly, and yet have them with us for always.Jim Oglesby

Although I was not there when he passed, I will always love him and think of him. Though all the rough times I gave him, he was my strength in growing up. Daddy passed away on November 30th, 1999.
