Condolences

  1. Oh Joe, I’m so sorry about your mom. She was a wonderful lady, just like the rest of you. When my mom sent me the notice from the paper I thought it was missing only one thing – that she was a wonderful cook. There was always great food at your house.

    I am praying for your whole family. I know you will miss that sweet woman.

    Take care.

  2. I was so sorry to hear of Shirley’s passing. She was a very special person. When I was 16 and she was 2, I would take care of her while Pete worked at the grain business in Jarrell. Wonderful memories. I am unable to be with you, but my prayers are with you.
    Christ Love,
    Mary Harrison Hodge

At last, Shirly and Red can be together again as they were the perfect matches for each other. God Bless!
