To all Rigsby's near and far...

From home to home

and heart to heart

from one place to another

The warmth and joy of Christmas,

brings us closer to each other

To all Rigsby's near and far...

Be thankfull...

It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.

Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,

Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;

After all, each day is a unique gift.

So, give a hug for no reason;

Say I love you, just because;

Share a smile with a stranger;

Take the time to count your blessings;

Don't take anything or anyone for granted;

And end each day with no regrets.

Happy Thanksgiving

Concerning lodging for the 2011 Rigsby Family Reunion...

If you are interested in attending the big

2011 Rigsby Anniversary Reunion

It is extremely important

that you make your hotel reservations

NOW

The reason that it is imperative that you make your reservations now it that

there are only 7 rooms left at the Four Seasons Lodge

(our Rigsby Reunion home base motel )

And during that same time period, there is a large
3 day

blue grass
music festival

in Summersville, which is the nearest

alternative lodging location

The hotels in Summersville always sell out

due to this music festival

2010 Rigsby Family Renion....

The 2010 Rigsby family reunion was held on

June 25 &and 26, 2010

in Richwood, West Virginia

It was wonderful to enjoy each others company and to catch up on life in general

A  BIG  thank you to Steve & Fay Peyton for planning this years reunion

Your hard work is greatly appreciated

We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves

We have been blessed to have found a care taker for our family cemetery,

which is located on top of Hinkle Mountain

in Richwood, West Virginia.

Curtis will be handling the upkeep of our family burial plot that is located on the mountaintop farm land the once belonged to our family matriarch

Thomas D. Rigsby.

We will be taking donations for the upkeep of the family cemetery at the family reunion, which will be held next week in Richwood, West Virginia.

We are asking that you please consider donating to this worthy cause.

It is very hard to find someone that is local to the Richwood area to perform the upkeep duties, and we would very much like to make

sure that we are able to retain

Curtis in the future.

More information about the Horse Ridge cemetery is located

under the March 11, 2010

entry to this website.

Your donation to this worthy cause is

very much appreciated....

Today we honor our veterans,
worthy men and women who gave their best
when they were called upon to serve and protect their country.

We pray that you will bless them, Lord,
for their unselfish service in the continual struggle
to preserve our freedoms, our safety,
and our country’s heritage, for all of us.

Bless them abundantly
for the hardships they faced,
for the sacrifices they made,
for their many different contributions
to America’s victories
over tyranny and oppression.

We respect them, we thank them,
we honor them, we are proud of them,
and we pray that you will watch over
these special people
and bless them with peace and happiness.
