"Greg, Phillip, and family, I have many good memories of our youth, growing up in Coal Mountain...climbing in and out of Pa Heard\'s Corn Mill and much more! Hugh was always fun to be around. I remember him as a loving man, who thoroughly enjoyed a good laugh. Janice and Hugh were great examples for all of us. We pray you will find comfort in our Lord during this time of loss. Steve and Kimberly Jordan"
