Tillatoba News
By Patcie Deck
Monday late afternoon I had a big surprise. My sweet nephew, Terry Tillman from Jacksonville, Fla., pulled in the driveway. We only get to see Terry two or three times a year so when he comes, it’s always great seeing him. He was on his way to Memphis for a week-long job for the company he works for in Florida.
Another surprise Friday morning was a visit from my sweet niece, Nan Tillman Roberson, of near Greenville. It was a happy time for me to see my niece and nephew, children of my brother, Louis Tillman. Louis is gone from his earthly home, but I know he was looking down and smiling. My daughter, Donna Garripoli, came up Friday and visited with Nan while she was here. Donna also delivered the chair she had made for Nan’s mother-in-law.
Congratulations to Ryan Donavan, son of Stephen and Emily Tillman Donovan of Belzoni. Ryan is the second place speller in the State of Mississippi. Ryan’s grandfather is Johnny Tillman of Tillatoba.

“Yes, LOVE LIFTED ME. Still singing. Bro. Harris preached how God does care for us,” Martha shared.

Love and sympathy to the Tom Hill Holly family of Grenada. Tom passed away Friday, January 20, at his residence. I met Tom through the truck stop when he worked at Crystal Amusement. Tom was a nice person and a man of few words. I always had the utmost respect for Tom. RIP Mr. Tom.
Happy belated birthday to Angela Robinson and Nathan Hartley who celebrated the 22nd; to twins Gwen Rotenberry Graham and Gay Rotenberry Brewer on the 29th; and also to Terri Dukes and her great nephew, Logan Rose. May you all have a great time celebrating your birthday!
Freda Weir was showing three beautiful yellow bushes in bloom in her yard. I also saw some daffodils in bloom in another yard. Is spring around the corner? Wouldn’t that be nice but only if it lingers on in to the summer months. I’m thinking we are going to have a long hot summer!
Thought for the day…..God can heal a broken heart, but he has to have all the pieces.
