Local community lends helping hand during tragedy
A community comes together dur
ing bad times. I’m so proud to live
in the Hickory Flat Community. On
Tuesday night, with all the storms,
the community came together in
a bad time to help a neighbor. A
fallen tree destroyed Mary Bell and
Lloyd Echols home. Lloyd passed
away. They had been married 30
years and lived in our commu
nity even longer. When the fire
department and rescue units came,
neighbors helped to move trees
from the road to get the trucks
through. Jackson EMC came to
help cut off the power and to help
raise the tree off the home. For
two to three hours, firefighters and
many neighbors worked together
with chainsaws to help this fam
ily. Then, on Wednesday morning,
neighbors came together again to
salvage what was left for Mary
Bell. I know we lost a great neigh
bor in Lloyd and he will be greatly
missed by his family and a host of
friends. Our prayers are with this
family and our neighborhood.
The commu
nity was also
saddened last
week with the
loss of Zac
Gardiner. He
was born and
lived most of
his life in the Hickory Flat commu
nity. He leaves his parents, sister,
grandparents, nephews, cousins and
a host of other family and friends.
Zac touched many lives and will be
greatly missed by all.
