Pat,
Another day to celebrate Noland's move to  heaven.
JW and Elaine Burton

I remember you when I was a little girl.
The first time I saw you,you were in your
Uniform.  Such a handsome man.
Rest in peace.

Nolan, you will always be in my thoughts and memories. We spent 13 years together and you taught me how to drive the Odd Fellows bus when you left in 1954. You are my brother. I will never forget you.

I remember working at the Welcome Desk with Nolan at TRBC.   He is such a kind man with a great sense of humor.  I miss those days.  I am praying for Pat and her family.  


Pat and family so sorry for your loss of Nolan. He was a good man. Prayers being sent.

Dear Pat,  I was Nancy Bullock and met you when I was 14 and I was dating Ray Hicks. I saw you and Nolan often at church and sometimes saw Nolan when he was waiting for you while you shopped at Belk. I’m so sorry for your loss of Nolan,  and I will be praying for the Lord to comfort you and your family. God bless you dear friend. Love, Nancy 

Pat and family,  I am sad to hear of Nolan's passing.  I remember him always smiling and so kind.  You both were so good to Mama and she thought the world of you both.  Take care .  My sympathy, prayers and love for you all.  Nancy

Sandy and I will miss him. So sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing him and Pat at Captain D's on Wednesday.

Nolan was always a friendly face at the welcome desk.  Always willing to help out.  He has been and will be missed at Thomas Road.

I thought the world of Nolan he was a great man.

Mrs. Pat and family. Alaina and I are very sad to hear the news of Mr. Nolan’s passing. Please know our hearts and prayers are with you and your amazing family. He was a consistent source of encouragement to us while we were in Lynchburg. We love you and are thinking of you during this time. 

Love and prayers

Marc Ivey

Nolan you will be missed!  You were the strong but quiet soul that was able to keep Pat on a long leash.  We love you Pat and our prayers are with you and the  family.

Pat and family:
The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone you love. May today's sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God's love. I am thinking of you at this time of sorrow.

Dear family, Nolan was a sweet and gentle soul. He could always make me giggle with some of the things he would say.  I am sorry he did not get to spend more time with the world. 

Papa was the most loving man I knew. He loved unconditionally and no matter what you did he never judged you but loved you like Jesus told all Christians to love. 

I love you with all my heart. You will truly be missed. 
Cassie

My heart is broken 💔  I miss my Diddy so much already.  I promised him I would take care of mama. We are devastated 😢 

Pat and family, we are so sorry to hear of Nolan’s passing. We have some wonderful memories of good times spent with you. Ted thought of Nolan as a brother from the Home. Much love to all of you.

Pat,
Our daughter, Christie Burton, said she enjoyed visiting and talking
with Nolan at the Welcome area before the pandemic and she 
started working from home. It seems like yesterday when you and
Nolan were here as we had Col. Oliver North at our home supporting Kathy Byron for her first run for the House of Delegates. 
Elaine and I are in prayer for you and your family as you celebrate 
and grieve Nolan's change of address to Heaven.
J.W. Burton

Pat, may your memories of good times shared, with Nolan, the loving support of your family and friends, and the deep faith in God being assured that God is with you and will not leave you comfortless and that your dear husband in now celebrating your Lord and Savior bring comfort now and in the days ahead. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
