To The Family Of Dr. James T. Waddill:
Dr. Waddill was my doctor for years when I lived in Chester. He took care of my children, Wendy and Travis (Buster); as well as my father, Joe Wilmoth, until his death in 1989. I would like to express my sincere sympathy to each of you at this time. I spoke to him a few years back by phone, when I called to request some medical history. He was very kind and sent the information very quickly. May God bless and keep each of you during your time of loss.
Respectfully, Cheryl Wilmoth Whittle, RN

I just heard the news about my cousin Jimmy. I last saw Jimmy in 1993 when my wife and I visited with our new baby. It was a real treat to talk about the family and when we were kids. You and all of the family are in our prayers.

Jimmy was my cousin. My memories are when we were children and I would visit Jimmy and John in Virginia. You and the family are in my prayers. I am sorry for your loss.

I just got the news from my brother Larry. I'm Pat, the youngest son of Ed & Nellie Lewis. I too recall all the family visits we used to do years ago. I also remember the old Jaguar convertible Jimmy used to have. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We just heard the news about Jimmy and we wanted to say that our prayers are with you and your family. I'm Ed & Nellie Lewis' 2nd oldest son, named after Larry Overton. I often think about years gone by when we used to visit family around VA. They were fun times for sure. Now, our daughter and her family are living in Chesterfield, her husband works with the US Marines in Richmond.
