- Dieter, Birgit, Suzanne, Suzi and Sister (l to r)
We had a real treat yesterday at church. Dieter and Birgit Stoll (Horse Mountain) from Germany visited with us and played our Offertory and Special music during Sunday morning worship. They are here in the TN/NC area visiting for a couple of weeks before heading to Wilkesboro for Merlefest. They played a couple of songs on Thursday at the Pickin’ Porch here in Bristol, and again at the Carter Fold on Saturday night. It’s always great to meet new people who share our love of music and these folks are really special! They started their trip in Memphis, and were in Nashville before heading to East Tennessee, the REAL Birthplace of Country Music. Imagine traveling all the way from Germany because you love the music, when some of us won’t drive 20 miles! This is their second trip to the States in 2 years. Dieter is an accomplished guitar player, Birgit a fine bass player, and they both have really good voices. At church yesterday, they played the Carter song, “The Gospel Ship “, and “By the Mark” (Gillian Welch). Our family at Cold Spring really enjoyed having them, it was a nice change from our little choir! We really appreciate that they took time from their trip to visit with us. After church, we went to a local Greek place and had lunch, then they were on their way to Greeneville, TN. In the photo above, that’s Dieter on the left, then Birgit, Suzanne, Suzi and me, on the right.
Hello Doyle,
So sorry to hear about Mrs. Lawson. We had some good times with her, Pam and Les in Denton over the years. Also, wanted you to know that David passed away onJan. 29, 2012. It so hard when you lose your spouse after 30 years. Hope to see you in Candler this year.
A long time fan,

So Sorry to hear about your mom today. We so enjoyed having her in Denton when she was able to attend. Remembering you and all the family in our prayers – The Denton FarmPark family – Brown, Ruby, Keith, Kim, Karsten & Kade; Tim, Karen, Landry & Laramie
I just wanted to let you know that as my father-in-law laid on his deathbed last Wednesday, unresponsive to any speech or gestures from anyone in our family due to his condition, I decided to play your music on a laptop, and he immediately twitched his fingers and tried his best to move his lips to your songs. I regret that we have lost one of your biggest fans, but at the same time, please know that he happiest moments were listening to your music. With the most sincere appreciation, thank you!
Doyle

There was a huge crowd of people at Visitation last night. A bus load of our church family came from Cold Spring, and we got to see friends that we haven’t seen in a bit. Please pray for Doyle today. I know he is comforted by having so many good friends surrounding him. A cloud of witnesses! We are looking forward to Preacher Dale bringing us the Word at Mrs. Minnie’s service this afternoon. Thank you to everyone who came last night. Suzanne said it really touched their hearts.
Doyle, Our prayers are with you and your family.

Sending prayers of comfort to you and your family.
Doyle , Our prayers are with you and your family.
Even when a loved one’s home-going is not sudden, their physical absence from this earth leaves a hole in the world. What a wonderful blessing it is to be surrounded by family and friends at such a time. What a testament to a love that has no end. As my family and I were comforted in our recent loss, I hope you, too, can remember that The Best Is (indeed) Yet To Come!
Best to you all,
Audrey Evans
We’re so sad to hear of your mom’s homegoing, but she now has a brand new body and she’s singing and rejoicing in the Savior’s presence!!!
You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers!
Can tickets for Saturday’s Denton Farm still be purchased?
You can buy tickets for Doyle’s Festival in Denton at the gate for any of the days. If you play golf, come on Thursday with your clubs & a team or be put on a team and play in Doyle’s golf tournament.
Doyle & Suzanne just letting you know our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.
We love you

Thanks,
