Pam - I'm so sorry for your loss. It's always so hard to lose someone you love, and when it happens during the holiday season it seems especially hard. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you.

Jasper, we will miss you so much. I didn't see you often, but comforting to have you there.Because of Mom, I heard about you often. When Glyn got stuck, I heard how you pulled him out.When Daddy died you were there helping. When I walked the land, your skills/talents/caring was everywhere.Your great disposition was fun and upbeat; you never grew old; we were not ready to lose you. Some things are not spoken -- did you know how special you were? You were just being Jasper, and it was more than enough.

What a wonderful man. Jasper will be missed by all who knew him. He always had a smile on his face and loved to stop and talk to you. I remember the many times he would come to Pinnacle and play music for Mom's birthday. The last year, it was so good seeing him at the dance at the Elkins Community Building just about every week. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Pam. From Burl and Paula Combs, Nancy Dyke, Carlos and Linda Dyke, Sherryl Barger, Shirley Combs Moore

I had the honor to finally meet "Pam's dad" a couple of years ago and immediately knew he was a remarkable man. My deepest condolences to his family.

Jasper was a friend, a fellow musician, and a great guy. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to spend some time and enjoy a few musical experiences with him in the past couple of years. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend!
