Lee, I was saddened to hear of your father's death. You and your family are very much in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Ballew Family,
You have my heartfelt condolences in the passing of Mr. Ballew. I went to school with Randy when we were in elementary school. My name at the time was Jan Lavender. May the sweet memories bring comfort to each and every one. In Him, Jan Hughes

Our deepest sympathy on your loss. The Association of 3D Armored Division Veterans

I always enjoyed when Mr. Ballew would come to visit Mama and Daddy. He was a wonderful neighbor, sharing from his garden and helping in many other ways.  He had a delightful and uplifting sense of humor and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Mae, Lee, Randy, Rhonda, and all the family.

Mae, Lee, Randy, and Rhonda, we have such fond memories of Tuckston UMC "Destination Unknowns" at your sweet and inviting home.  James was such a kind and caring man that would keep us laughing. So sorry for your sadness right now and praying that God will surround each of you with His Amazing Grace as you grieve his absence from your daily lives.  With love and prayers, Gary and Brenda (Elder) Greene

Lee, Pam, Morgan, and Dylan               I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Ballew. Praying for your family asking God to surround you with his love during the coming days and weeks.         
Beverly Paradise, Aunt

Randy and Lee,

I was so sad to hear about your dad's passing.  I know he will be missed greatly by his family and friends.  I remember him always being in attendance at all of the Athens High track meets and the Country Cousin football games.  He was a wonderful man and a good friend to my parents.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Last saw Mr James and his wife while they were visiting my parents a few weeks ago   I had a new puppy that I had got for Christmas and they both had to hold and play with her  Such wonderful people!  Loved to listen to his stories. He will be greatly missed

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.


James is one of a kind!  A good friend and he never met a stranger!  He has a wonderful sense of humor and will be terribly missed.  Our deepest sympathy to the family.  I will treasure our memories and his drawings!

Joe McElreath and Family
