As some of you may already know Carl Weaver passed away on April 27, 2021. He was a huge active supporter of the club and long term member, having served on the TVGC Board and volunteering at club functions over the years. His knowledge of turquoise (and other rocks and minerals) and silversmithing benefitted the club with the free silversmithing instructions he gave to club members and the lapidary displays he had at our shows. We will miss his kindness, Generosity and smiling face. 🕊

Long term tvgc member, Rose Tacholsky Jackson passed away recently after a long battle with cancer. She fought long and hard and kept positive in the face of difficulty. Even in the midst of her worst days, she was still amazed by the beauty of creation around her. She was caring and proud of her husband, kids, and grandkids. She loved her family and friends and always had something wonderful to say about them and enjoyed her many memories of time spent with them. Her love of all things rocks was infectious. She and her husband Tom, would spend many days and miles traveling to rock shows and meeting up with old friends and making new ones.

We, along with her family, will miss Rose’s contributions, strength, loyalty, perseverance, joyfulness, love of beauty, and life. You will be missed! 🕊
