Our thoughts and prayers are with Burton and family. Eleanor was a fine lady with a great personality. We always enjoyed having dinner with her and Burton at the restaurants around Nags Head. R I P Eleanor. Donnie and Shearin Whitehorne Stuarts Draft, Va.
Thoughts and prayers with the family….Growing up sort of in-the-middle-of-no-where (Mclung.Va.) you don’t have many neighbors and my family was lucky to have the Trimbles just up the road. Many fond memories.
