Ronnie time has passed by so fast hard to believe 15 years since God needed an Angel. You are missed and loved by so many. Melissa is doing well and I know there is not a day that goes by that she doesn´t think about you and loves you so much. Sienna is 17 and will be graduating in May 2025. Pray you and all of our loved ones are safe and continue watching and praying for us. Love Barbara.

Life is passing by so fast, but never a day goes by that one of us fail to mention you in so way. When we say Poppa to Clayton he says you mean Ronny Ray. We remind him of you all the time and by the way he is a great fan of the oldies especially Elvis, Johnny Cash, Lil Richard and much more of the older music. He had a birthday March 23rd and is now 8, he's tall, long legs and thin, dark hair and eyes but can't seem to get him over 50 lbs. We're working on it. He is an intelligent boy but depends on his brain mood as to his melt downs. Callie gives him 200%. She is an exceptional Mom and he definitely her life.
Melissa is doing well, working her butt off but making it ok. She visits with Clayton and Sutton and Sawyer as often as possible. When she comes to BC she mostly stays with us. I am so glad we have a relationship.
My thoughts and prayers and with you daily, love you my Spider. Later my dear son.

March 8, 2018

The time seems to be passing me too quickly and my remember is not always remembering. Oh well, at 81 I am still very fortunate. Yesterday's thoughts were definitely on you and Melissa, her birthday and the two of you 9 year anniversary.
Callie is going to have cake and ice cream here on Sunday to celebrate an early birthday for Clayton Ray. He is so excited. She is doing well at her job but life is a struggle, I keep praying that things will get better for them.
Ron still hobbling on his foot, the ankle is still swelled and bothers him still, since September.
As far as I know everyone is doing good, as they say, no news is good news.
I miss you so much but I'm trying so hard to keep the faith. I do have many good memories of you and your dad and I hang on to that.
Stay safe with Jesus and watch over your grandson Clay, he is such a precious little man, he sure has found a deep place in my heart.
Love & hugs, love you son.
Maw.

Greetings for another New Year, we had dinner with Aunt Adeline & Uncle Billy and Ms Beth Cook. It was nice getting together and as always Aunt Adeline's cooking was the greatest. Callie and Clayton are at home, he's punished for not following rules again.
I have not been at my best, had the breast surgery along with another biopsy, I will get results on Wednesday, praying for good news but the way I've been hurting, I'm a bit skeptable. Oh well God knows what he has in store for me. Put in a good word for me when you say your prayers that the cancer is confined.
I love you, more later, going lay down. Be Safe With God. Hugs.

My dear son, another year has passed since you so quickly left us. There is never a day that passes that you are not in my thoughts and prayers. We had some good times and some bad times but there has never been a day that I have stopped loving you. You came to me on Christmas Day in 1962 and my love for you has be unconditional and you knew that. Missing you doesn't get easier but life must go on. You would truly love your grandson Clayton Ray, he is a precious, loving young man and I also love him unconditionally. Be Safe With God, Love & hugs Maw.

July 20, 2017

Hi There Spider, having a highly anxious afternoon, Clayton Ray is having his kidney surgery tomorrow. Melissa came in to spend the night, she will take me to the hospital so we can be with Callie and Clayton or his surgery. Not much else happening. Keep your grandson in your prayers and also Callie. Will get back with you later, we all love you. God Bless.

Just a line or two since I'm on my Friday Date with Clayton Ray. School is almost over but not sure what he will be doing this summer, he goes each summer for several weeks to South Carolina to his MeMe White's. We see what's on for this summer. Callie and Melissa both got promotions at work, I am very proud of both my girls. Callie's friend Jason is doing his apprentice for Tattooing, doing pretty good I understand.
Ron is good but bored because there is no work. Except for my back, I'm doing pretty good, I will start next week with Physical Therapy, hope it helps with some of this pain.
We had the visit with Martha and Bobby Dority from Colorado. It was a great visit.
Not sure if I told you but Bobby paid for Ron and me to fly to Colorado September 2nd for 4 days and Uncle Leroy will fly in from Oklahoma. Bob hasn't told him I am going he wants to surprise him. We are looking forward to it.
Enough for now, you are in my thoughts always, I love and miss you my dear son. Be safe with God. Hugs.

Good Morning Spider, think of you every day even if I don't write it down. My 80 years are taking a toll on me but I'm still going.
Clayton takes up part of my time, he's in kindergarten and amazes me everyday. Although he has been diagnosed with having kidney stones in one kidney, he never stops. He is being followed up for that. Callie is taking all of his situation in stride, she is a strong person. Melissa was here a week ago, she comes at least once a month and spends time between us and her two other grandchildren, Sutton and Sawyer, beautiful kids.
Other than routine daily bs, things are going right along.
We all are sending our love to you and hope you are not giving your dad too much trouble. LOL.
Be Safe With God. Love & hugs.
Maw.

My dear son, another year has passed and I still miss you like it were yesterday even thought the 11th was 7 years since you joined the angels. Besides that, in another 4 days you would have had your 54th birthday.
Christmas Day 1962 was a happiest day for me, I not only celebrated the birthday of our Lord Jesus but I was blessed with your birth. I still love you as much today as I did the day you were born even though you are not with me in body. I am wishing you and your Dad a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate with Jesus.
Callie surprised us with an engagement announcement to Jason. Melissa is still and I think always will be a loving part of our family. Ron is still with us and a special part of my life. Clayton Ray's life is beginning to form and he is starting to get help for his rare Kabuki Syndrome. He is such a loveable little fellow and hardly forgets anything. He speaks and questions about you (his Poppa) often, thanks to Callie who keeps you alive to him just as we kept your Dad alive to her.
Uncle Red is doing well, he is 93 now and looks great. Everyone else is doing good, fat and sassy. LOL.
As for me, I am just getting older, 80 now. A few medical problems but comes with age.
I love and miss you, be Safe with Jesus.
Hugs.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

November 3, 2016

Here I am again, the time sort of slips away from me and further, I don't feel as well lately or remember as well. Anyway, I made a trip to Holdenville, Oklahoma, compliments of Bobby Dority who now lives in Colorado. Bobby arranged & flew me to Oklahoma for me to have a 'friendship reunion' with the Dority family. Everyone was fine and as you know though Aunt Betty passed away some 4 years ago. Had a good flight and had a really great time with the family, I think they all enjoyed me being there also. We reminisced and talked about past times, even talked about our visit when you met Karen Youmans.
Everyone here is good, Darleen Zar is recooperating from her fall that she broke her leg in 3 places. Uncle Red is great (93) except for his diabetics. Clayton Ray is having a rough time with his melt downs to do with that damn Kabuki Syndrome that he was born with, the doctor is going to try him on a med to calm him down, other than that you would not want a sweeter, smarter young child. If you have any pull up there, please put in a good word for our little man, he needs all the help he can get and also Callie. She is going thru a lot but she does well with Clayton, I'm sure that she has melt downs at times. He is a loveable hand full.
Enough for this time. Be Safe With God, Showing Love,
Maw.

September 21, 2016

The time has flown by, I try to stay occupied as much as possible in Clayton Ray's life. You would love your grandson to the moon and back, he sure has taken ahold of my heart since day one. Everything else is going pretty good, trying to get better all the time. Love you and miss you so much. Be Safe With God. Maw.

April 4, 2016

Another great weekend, Melissa came and had a sleep over Friday night with Clayton Ray. Then Saturday he spent his time with his Dad. Melissa and I just hung out at the house then Sunday morning she went to spend time with Sutton and Sawyer. It was a nice weekend. She will be back in 2 weeks & she and Clayton will have another sleep over for Callie and Jason to go to a wedding. It will be another nice weekend.
Nothing much going on except CRAWFISH, just teasing. I know how much you enjoyed them and I think of you every time we have them.
Nothing much else except sending love and missing you. Be Safe With God, Blessing to you.

Happy Easter my dear sweet son and dear husband Ray. We had a great day with Callie, her friend Jason, and Clayton, also Debbie and Mike Holman (that's Mr. Joe's Debbie), also Harold Zar came and joined us. We boiled crawfish with the trimmings. It was a nice day. Two days ago we celebrated Clayton's 5th birthday, he was so excited. Melissa didn't make it as she was on a cruise with her family. She will probably be over this week ends. Be Safe With God and we love you and miss you so much.

Happy Anniversary a couple of days late. You were the best thing to happen to my sister and your time together was cut short. God has a plan for you and Melissa. Until we see you again. Love and miss you.

March 7, 2016

I am getting so lazy about writing, not that you are not in my thoughts everyday. Another year has passed and Melissa celebrated her 50th birthday and the two of you would have celebrated your 7th anniversary.
Barbara took Melissa along with Vanessa to the Island View in Gulf Port to help her celebrate her birthday. They passed a good time. Callie and Clayton are doing good, Clayton will go to Tulane for an evaluation on Monday, he is such an adorable little boy, you would have spoiled him rotten.
Gotta run now, love to you my sweet son, more later. Maw

January 11, 2016

The starting of 2016 is wonderful. Melissa spent the night last night to await the arrival of the new granddaughter this morning. D.J. and Kelli has added Sawyer Joy Ott to their family. She weighed as much as Sutton did, 9 pounds and is 20". Melissa will stay until tomorrow, it is so nice having her visit. Since I am not strong enough to have my Friday Date with Clayton yet, I am looking forward to the two of them spending the night Friday night so I can have my time with them. I love my family so much and appreciate any time I get with them.
Sending loads of love & hugs to you, Be Safe With God. I love you son.

January 2, 2016

Wishing you a belated Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, and Happy New Year. I spent 11 days in the hospital including Christmas but things are going along better now. Callie and Clayton had a good Christmas and Melissa spent her time with me at the hospital. She is such a blessing to our family, I thank God for bringing her into our life.
I am not quite up to par so I'll give me news later. I love you son and miss you so terrible much.
Love, hugs, and be Safe With God, Sharing love.

December 7, 2015

What a day! Clayton spending a few days with me, Callie got a chance with the company to go on a 5 day cruise, left this a.m. Jason couldn't get off so Carlee Roussell went with her. She needed this so much, I know she will enjoy. Clayton is doing great, such a wonderful young child.
Trying very hard to enjoy the Christmas but not a good time for me for many reasons as you know.
I love you son and miss your smile and loving way. Hugs to your dad for me and lots of love to the both of you.
Sharing love.

Christmas 2015. Wish you were here to see just how amazing this dude is!

Oh My, life is slipping by me so fast and I'm getting old so fast I can't seem to remember to the things I want or need to do, please forgive me.
Family is well, Clayton is doing really good, also Ragan, Lainey, and Sutton. Sutton is expecting a little sister. Baby girl Ott will be named Sawyer. Melissa and the family are all excited.
Jason and Callie are doing well, working hard.
Ron is well, just not happy because work is so slow, doesn't like sitting around.
Rob just had another birthday, not sure what age.
Uncle Red celebrated his 92nd and he is doing good.
Love and miss you so much, Be Safe With God.

Another Monday come and gone, had a nice weekend, Melissa and Clayton spent Friday night. I had my back procedure Friday, things went as well as expected. Doing OK. Then Melissa kept Clayton Saturday and he went home in the evening. On Sunday she spent the morning with her other grandson Sutton. We had a nice quiet day and she went back to BR in the evening. That's about all that has happened here.
Debbie (Mr. Joe's Daughter) brought me a picture today that she had of you, me, and Melissa on the day ya'll married. It is a really good one.
Not much else going on, I love you, miss you and pray you be safe with God.

Hi Spider, it seems forever I haven't sit down and written and I guess it has. Not that I haven't thought of you because I sure have, infact, I would say everyday. So many things going on: Callie struggling to keep her head above water financially also dealing with our precious Clayton, me having so many medical problems with my back and just everyday struggle. No excuse for not writing but as I said I think of you everyday.a
Susan is selling the trailer Callie is in (or whatever), anyway, they are looking for another place, our only problem is getting Clayton into the right school program. Our prayers to God will be answered and he will guide us to whatever is best for Clayton.
Tiffany and Jack and the kids are doing good as far as I know. She works in BC certain days at Jeanfreau's Barber Shop and the other days in Destrahan at the beauty shop.
I love and miss you so much but I try not to let the grief take over me, I have to go on.
You would love Clayton so much, he is so much like you in so many way, very loving and very active. He sure fills my life. Enough for now I love you, Be Safe In God's Care.
Maw

March 7, 2015

It your 6th wedding anniversary and a 49th birthday for Melissa. My thoughts are with the two of you and I'm trying to look on the bright side of things. Clayton spent the night with me, he is growing in so many ways. He is an enjoyable child but a little hard headed as you and Callie both were (Smiles). I love you my son and miss you so much but God has control of what he wants of us so I am adjusting. Love & hugs

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday all on the same day. Miss you Ronnie. Just showing love as you would say.

December 29, 2014

Another holiday has passed and again I have not decorated, maybe next year. As always I had my time put aside to with you Merry Christmas and most of all wish you a Happy Birthday.
The holiday was not all bad, Melissa came before Christmas and spent a week. We didn't go any place but enjoyed quiet time.
Clayton and Callie are doing fine. Callie has found herself a friend and they seem to be doing ok. He does take up time with Clayton and they get along well, so that is good.
Clayton is coming over Tuesday after daycare and spend the night with me and the day Wednesday. He is no problem and is a very loving child. You would love him. Santa was good to him and I think most of all he like the electronic tablet or whatever it is called that Melissa gave him most of all.
Well enough for tonight, I love you son. Be Safe With God.

November 4, 2014

Here I am again (been missing in action). Not much of anything going on, we did go to Aunt Adeline's camp for a week, it was just nice getting away (nothing doing in the woods either). Uncle Billy and Ron didn't even see a deer but they did catch enough perch for us to eat them twice. LOL.
Looking forward to this afternoon, picking up Clayton at day care and he will spend the night (Callie doesn't get off until 10pm so it's easier for him to stay sleep and I'll bring him to day care in the morning.
Callie is really struggling but not too much I can do to help, I'm taking care of some of her obligations now so she will just have to take care of what she can.
I miss you so much and so does Callie. She recalls so much lately about the past and talks about you, she also is keeping you alive to Clayton.
We missed big Rob's birthday yesterday, would have been 40. Oh well, not the first or last thing I will be forgetting now days.
I love you and miss you, be safe with Jesus.

Just 'showing love'. Letting you know that Clayton had another surgery on Wednesday, the doctors finally went in and properly closed the hole in his belly where he had the Gtube. He is doing very well. Can't get over how much he is growing lately, even put on a little weight. You would have so much fun with him, he is such a happy boy, not many times you see him that he is not smiling.
Everyone else is doing OK. Enough for tonight, going to bed. Lots of love & hugs. May you be Safe With Jesus.

September 8, 2014

Oh my, it's been a few months, I apologize. It is said that 'no news is good news' but that is not exactly the case. Between me trying to stay well and keeping up with Callie & Clayton, the time just slips by me. Things have been crazy, loosing family and friends constantly (Mr. Joe, Aunt Shirley Naquin, Brenda Fernandez, Josh Morris (Gail's son), and the list goes on and on).
Been having big problems with my back and praying that the last injections I got last week will give me much needed relief.
No news from me doesn't mean I love or miss you any less. The hurt is as bad as the first day you left us.
Vanessa had her breast surgery and 'thank God' it went very well. She and Melissa spent the night here a week ago, it was so nice having them, especially Melissa.
Clayton is growing a little bit (getting taller). He will be 4 in March. Time sure flies.
Closing now, Love & miss you, Be Safe With God.

Celebration was had by Tiff for Baby Jax who made 1 year old. Didn't get to go because I had long awaited company, Melissa and Vanessa came & spent the day Sunday and the night. Ron grilled some ribs and I made potato salad and everyone got stuffed. Clayton spent the afternoon with us and I think he really enjoyed being with his Grandma Melissa. Clayton now had a baby half sister, her name is Luna Ryan.
Everyone doing pretty good, still kicking. HaHa.
Stay Safe With Jesus, Lots of love & hugs.

April 19, 2014

A day early but wanted to not miss wishing you, Dad, and my other love ones a 'Very Happy Easter'. We don't have anything planned except resting at home. Been down on my back terribly and will go for injections on Friday. Hopefully it will help some.
Be Safe with God, I love and miss you so much. Love & hugs,

Hi Spider, checking see if your Dad baked the cake for his birthday yesterday. (Smiles) The 'old man' made his 80th. I send love & hugs to him (Ray Longino) & miss him always. Even though our paths have split I can't and won't forget him.

OMG Clayton Ray had a birthday today, 3 years. Ron and I went to their house. Callie had a small get together, Tiffany & family, Terrie, Carlee, Dana. Had cup cakes, ice cream, and hot dogs w/ chili. It was very nice and he got some nice things. We're back home and stretched out for the evening. Melissa didn't get to come because of her work. Enough for today, Be Safe With God, Love & hugs, MAW

March 7, 2014

Had a visit from Melissa today along with Barbara and Vanessa. Special Day, Melissa's B'day and ya'll's anniversary (5th). They will stay in the city tonight and see Willie Nelson at HOB's then I think Buddy Guye (?) tomorrow, and of course they went to visit you and the love ones today also.
Callie & Clayton Ray are doing real good, he is growing so much. Couldn't ask for a more loving child and cute as a picture./
Enough for tonight, Love & hugs, Be Safe With God, MAW

February 23, 2014

Had a wonderful weekend, Melissa and Vanessa came to town and Melissa spent the night with us last night. It was an enjoyable time, so good to have her here. She has been working long hours and doesn't get out too much.
Tiff had a b'day party for Ragan but I didn't get to go. I'll see her in a few days, I thought I'd give her one of my good rings as a present and memento of me.
Enough, I'm going to bed, get tired easy now days.
I love you more than ever, Be Safe With God. MAW

February 21, 2014

Fixing dinner and taking a moment to relax (pork chop & turnip stew). All going pretty good here, Melissa and Vanessa are coming this weekend I think. It will be good to see them, Vanessa is have a problem, not sure how it will be treated yet (the Big C) but she of course is quite concerned but we are depending on the prayers helping the doctors.
Big surprise for Clayton this afternoon, Morgan & Jane mix gave him their grandson's 'Lightning McQueen' (that's a red car bed) He will be so excited, he has books of the car & gets excited just reading to him and he picks out the cars by name.
He is talking now (can't always understand what he says) but he never shuts up any more. He knows to pick you out in the pictures, "he's PaPaw".
More later, love & hugs, Be Safe With God. MAW

February 6, 2014

Oh my these weeks and months are just flying by. Trying to stay out of the weather, all that's going on is 'Ice Storms'. One day 70 then the next week high 20's and mid 30's.
Everyone seems to be doing OK. Did get news tonight that Mr Lutz is extremely ill, he's been down for awhile. Ted "Goggle Eye" Jeanfreau is really sick and in the hospital and Uncle Johnny Cacibauda is back on chemo, doesn't sound too good. Jeannie Manno passed yesterday and enough bad news.
Clayton was here tonight, as active and sweet as ever.
More Later. Love & hugs, Be Safe With God.

January 25, 2014

Seems like time is passing by so quickly. We try to get Clayton as often as possible, he is so beautiful and such a happy little boy. Callie is working very hard to make ends meet but things will get better for her and Clayton. Melissa is adjusting to living in BR, I am happy for her even though I don't get to see her often enough. DJ & Kelli's little fellow, Sutton, and a charmer, he is so cute. You would have been so proud of your two grandsons.
Work still not too good so we don't do too much lately but there again, it will get better.
I love & miss you more everyday. Tiffany had a birthday yesterday (29 years). My God remember when she first came to the house, I think she was about 3. A very shy child but very loving.
Take care son, love you as always, be safe in God's care, love & hugs., MAW
Oophs, forgot to tell you Uncle Johnny is not doing his best, he's taking chemo treatments and we are all keeping him I our prayers.
Bye for now Spider.

A belated Christmas and Birthday, yesterday was busy. I cooked and Callie & Clayton came and spent the entire day (it was lots of fun). Melissa, Vanessa, and the Bullfrog spent the afternoon, and Uncle Red and Darleen came for a visit and of course I got many calls sending greetings. We missed you in many ways.
Clayton got many toys and clothes, he had a good day.

It's the day before Christmas Eve and we just got back from a week at Ron's mom's. It was great and she is doing so well at 87 years. The Carlisle family is mourning the loss of Melissa's nephew Adam, that is Angie's son.
Returned home to find that Ryan had taken Clayton for a hair cut and poor baby looks like he's been scalped by the Indians. Guess I'm just not used to seeing him without his pretty hair.
Wow, birthday #51 is almost here. Happy Birthday son, I love you even more than I did on the first time I laid eyes on you on December 25, 1962.
Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to my special son. Be Safe With God, Lots of love & hugs,

It is 4 years today since the call came that you had been in an auto accident and had died at the scene. Ron and I were at Fairview State Park in Madisonville and you and Melissa were to join us that evening for the weekend and on the Monday you were to start a job with Boh Brothers. However, at that moment my world stopped. I just could not imagine life without you but God saw fit to call you home and that was understood. At that moment life changed for all your love ones. We all miss you as much today as all the yesterdays and also the tomorrows.
I love and miss you so much son, Be Safe With God,

What a brisk day (very cold) but didn't keep the family from celebrating your grandson Sutton from having his 1st Birthday Party. I went with Melissa, Barbara, Vanessa, Sienna, and Jenna. D.J. and Kelli really put on a beautiful party along with the help of their families. He is so cute and looks like his Dad.
Enough for this day. Stay Safe With God. Maw

Ronnie, you don't know how I wish I could have gotten to know you more, but the short time that we were family made me feel like I knew you all my life. The most important thing is you made my Sister very happy and for the first time she was the happiest I had ever seen her. I want her to be happy again. You need to send her a message to be happy again. I know she will never be as happy as she was with you, but I just want her to be happy. I love and miss you. I
know Thanksgiving Day was a great day with you and Big Rob cooking and my Mom telling you two what to do! Love Barbara

Preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow, Ron and I will be eating alone. Fixing Cornish Hens, dressing, white asparagus, peas, baked sweet potatoes & salad. Also pumpkin pie and sour cream fruit salad. A little sad spending it alone but I've been sick with the respiratory thing so that cancelled our trip to Florida to Ron's mom's. Callie & Clayton will be eating with the gang since her grandpa will be home.
Don't think I told you but Bubba Dubois was found dead, don't know the details but the family is distort, I will talk to them very soon, I know their hurt trust me.
I love you son and miss you more every day. Be Safe With God, Your loving Maw.

Oh my, guess my life is circled around Clayton now days, it's been since September since I've written. But kid you not that's not that I haven't been thinking of you and also your Dad. Our anniversary was on the 30th, 52 years. I miss you both so much. I went to the cemetery & changed out flowers on All Saints Day.
Clayton is growing a little bit, getting a little taller but not too much heavier (28 pounds), he is a peanut, but he eats like you. Almost everything and a lot of it. You would love him to the moon and back, he is such a loving child. Callie is making it OK. She is renting from Susan at Crown Point and working Uptown in New Orleans at Planet Beach, she is a Senior Consultant. She is struggling but trying her best to make it.
Melissa is still with Barbara in BR and has found a good job with a tank trucking company there. She is doing OK and naturally misses you much. She mentioned the other day your first date on Halloween Night many years ago. Those special things we don't forget.
Miss You, Love You, Be Safe With God, Sharing Love, Maw

Here it is Labor Day Weekend and thank God no bad weather in the making at this time.
We are going down to Hermitage, we have been invited to Kathy & Willie's. Don't know how long we will be there, it is so hot.
Well the chip off the old block (Callie Rae) had an accident and totaled her car. She and Clayton are OK. She had to replace her car, I hate to see her go into debt but I guess that is the only way you get started.
Clayton is such a fine little boy. I love you and know that you are safe with God. Bless you son.

My candle is still burning Son. Tonight I am in one of those lonesome moods, I'll get over it but I sure do miss my love ones, especially you and your crazyness. I talk about you all the time and I call Clayton Ronnie Ray when he does certain things like dig into things, stand in front of the frig and alot of little things you used to do. Don't worry, I'll get over it for tonight. Haha.
Everone is fairly good, all been down with an intestinal virus but its getting better. Work is extra slow and the weather is so hot that it feels tropical. This world is making a reverse turn, and we all know what's next.
I hope you and Dad get together and fuss alittle like the two of you used to do. (Smiles). Love & Hugs. Be Safe With God.

Hi Spider, even though I haven't written doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you,God is my witness and think of you always and talk to you quite often. It's a shame you can't talk back to me.
Everythings good at home, Callie & Clayton had lunch with me, he is getting to be such a big boy. You would love him to pieces, he is so sweet. He still is not talking but is beginning to try. Gotta love that little rascal. Melissa is in BR with Barbara and her family and is doing much better. I sort of look for her to move their and that may not be a bad idea it seems to make her happy. I miss her but I want only for her to go on with her life and to be happy.
Be Safe With God, Love & Hugs,

Hear I am again saying I'm sorry but you have to excuse me I'm old and senile you know. A belated Fathers Day. Everyone is pretty good, no major going's on, not more than usual.
Clayton is eating like a little pig (thank God), he is doing so much better but not growing a whole lot.
Aunt Jeannie (Chubby's ex) passed away a few weeks ago. All the kids talked about you. They are all well. Can't think of much now, more later. Love & hugs, Be Safe With God.

Back to feeling good again for another while. Nothing much happening. Clayton had a Dr appt yesterday and everything was good and is going to go to a 1st dental appt. Cal still hasn't found a job but looking. Tiff's baby is due June she is most uncomfortable.
Darleen (Zar) and Joe had a crawfish boil Sunday. Boz cooked, they were perfect. Warren and Harold and part of their family were there. Uncle Red came with us. Nice family get together.
Jeannie Ates is ready to meet her maker. Went to Picayune, Ms yesterday to see her and the time is near (Like maybe a couple of days) All the kids were there and were so glad I had gone.
Enough for now. God Watch over you sweetie, Love & hugs

Another trip to the hospital for Clayton, they finally closed the feeding hole in his stomach. He is doing really good. Uncle JohnnyC is not doing too good, we have him in our prayers. Love & hugs, be safe with God.

April 6, 2013

OMG what a gorgeous day, God is so good. We are gathering to celebrate the forthcoming arrival in June of Baby Jaxon. He will make Tiffany and Jack's family 5 little people. They will survive (LOL), that is a wonderful family.
Clayton is doing well, he is such a happy boy, just love him to death. I'll try to get you more pics.
Love & Hugs. Be Safe With God.

Cousin, the wedding was absolutely beautiful. There was only one thing missing and it was YOU. I wish so dearly you would have been there with us to share Stephanie's special moment.
I love you and miss you so.

Clayton Ray had his 2nd birthday yesterday. Callie had hot dogs, chip, and drink and her friend Alicia ordered Clayton a red velvet b'day cake. Not only pretty but also very good. Not a big party this year just Ron, me, Ryan, and a few close friends. All went well.
More later, love & hugs, be Safe With God.

March 16, 2013

OhMyGosh, the time is just slipping away. I'll catch you up on some happening: Steph became Ms Ben Covell, Melissa had a birthday as well as remebered the two of you's anniversary, Callie is back doing the Nanny job and Clayton goes to Jacob's Ladder Day Care, work slow for Ron at this time and I haven't been doing much of anything and I don't start that until 10 o'clock a.m. (haha).
Mr Lloyd Boudreaux passed away this week, he will be greatly missed.
Enough now, love & hugs, Be Safe With God.

Hi There, all is well, Clayton is doing much better and he and Callie seem to be adjusting to having the trailer to themselves. He goes to day care everyday that he is well and Cal goes to her 'nanny' job @ English Turn.
Melissa is doing much better and Kathy is very busy these days with Steph's wedding coming up in March.
Aunt Wyonda and I went to BayStLouis from Fri to Sun, saw a show and relaxed. Had a nice get-a-way.
Be Safe With God, I love you my son.

Update on Clayton and his surgery, had ear tubes put in yesterday and doing great. Hopefully this will control the ear infections. He is at 'day care' today and still smiling as big as ever. He is such a jolly lil fellow.
Not much else happening, more later. Love & hugs, be safe with God.
MAW

January 28, 2013

Guess my last news didn't go thru but anyway, Callie & Clayton have moved to the trailer and Ryan has taken a room elsewhere. Weather very crazy and most everyone is half sick. Clayton has been keeping ear infections so on the 5th of February he will go to the hospital & have tubes put in his ears, hopefully that will stop the infections.
Melissa has been a little under the weather but is going to the doctor's. Keep us all in your prayers as we will you.
Be Safe With God, Love & Hugs,

Happy 50th birthday and Merry Christmas. It is hard to believe that 3 years have gone by since you went to be an Angel, but you have not been forgotten you are missed by so many people. Sienna lit a candle for you in church, she misses you. Love you Barbara

December 24, 2012

Another Christmas is coming and going and we again celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus. I remember the morning of December 25, 1962 when Jesus blessed me with a son who I named Ronnie Ray. Ronnie you have been my heart, even if you are older (50 years). I'll have a silent toast to you for your 50th birthday.
I love you son and miss you so much. Your special smile, your phrase "just showing love", you digging in my frig to complain about my leftovers, the kiss on the nose, and all the little special things we shared. My love for you glows just like this candle and will burn forever.
Merry Christmas and a Happy 50th Birthday.
Be Safe With God.

Ronnie what can I say that I haven't already said to you. Time has really passed so fast and it doesn't seem like it has been 3 years since you went to be an Angel. Your time was cut short and I wish we would have had more time together as a family, but the time we did have will be cherished. Sienna is getting so big and she talks about you quite often and misses you, as we all do. I know you are smiling down on us all. Rest in Peace Ronnie and know we love and miss you. Your sister Barbara

December 9, 2012, baby Sutton Ott has arrived (big boy @ 9 lbs), and have made you a grandfather again. Darren and Kelli have started a new path in their lives.
With the new addition to the family we have also lost one, my dear cousin Nita Mary Duet Bennett passed away yesterday. She will be a great addition to God's angels.
Love you Son. Be Safe With God.

The time is slipping by faster and faster. November we went to Ron's mom's for 10 days then came back and went camping @St Bernard for 5 days 4 nights. The weather was beautiful.
Clayton is growing so much and getting so smart with his skills, he is so beautifull and you would have spoiled him to the extreme. I kiss him on the nose for you all the time. Cal is finishing school by the beginning of January, I pray she can get settled in life and job soon. My heart bleeds for her and Clayton but she will have to figure out their future.
On the really sad side, Greg passed away and will be buried Saturday. They will lay him along side of Cindy. That is the proper thing to do, they loved each other so much.
Enough, Be Safe With God, Love & Hugs

Wow, I must be getting as old as hell because these days sure are passing by pretty fast. Just wanted you to know the doctors finally took Clayton's feeding tube out of his stomach. He is doing really well, won't be long before he will be catching up with his Cuz Ev and the other big boys.
Love ya son, Be Safe With God. Missing you so very much.

I don't know where the time goes but I do know that your grandson has consumed my life and my time. Clayton is a precious little boy who is a full time joy. He and Callie are still with us. Callie is still in school until the 1st of the year. I understand they may be moving bacvk to the trailer soon. Everyone else is doing good, Missing you more and more, love and hugs

Here I am again, gosh seems like the time flys by these days. Since I last wrote, Bubba Herschel has passed away, Callie passed all her tests and is now in floor training and Clayton has started 'day care' for the 2 week days Cal goes to school.
Seems my old back has tried to give away so I cana't handle Clayton as much. It is helping me and I think him being in a different invironment is good for him also.
Everyone else is OK I think. Still trying to get over Hurricane Isaac. We had no property damage but sure did have physical and mental damage being without power for a week but things are finally trying to get back to whatever is normal.
I think you may remember Jimmy Brennan, his cancer caught up with him and he passed away this week. May he RIP, he was a very nice fellow.
Melissa is adjusting in her new living space (Apartment on Carol Sue). She is working hard but doing good.
Mr Ron went to the dermatologist this week and has a Sept 24th surgical appointment for a cancer on his right cheek, it is not the good kind so I am praying that it has not spread.
Love you son, Be Safe With God,
MAW

August 14, 2012

Your Cuz Kathy is so sweet about keeping you posted on the updates on Clayton. Love her mucho.
Sad news this writing, Bubba Herschel passed away yesterday afternoon with a massive heart attack. Needless to say, everyone is kinda on a low key.
Melissa is in her apartment and is getting used to it little by little. I know she will do well, she is a strong person.
Be Safe With God, love you Son.

July 25, 2012

Oh my, it's been a month since I've talked to you, so sorry. Callie and Clayton are staying with us temporarily and he takes up a big part of my time. Cal is still in school and seems to be doing well. Clayton is growing and just steals my heart away.
Kinda of tired. going to take a well needed nap. I love you.
Be Safe With God.
MAW

June 25, 2012

All excited for Callie, she starts school tomorrow. This is something she has always wanted to do so we have to support her all the way.
Clayton is as precious as ever. He is such a special little angel. I try to spend as much of my time as I can with him, I enjoy him so much.
Be Safe With God, lots of love & hugs, more later.

June 17, 2012

Happy Father's Day son, guess I have a little catching up to do. Most everyone is good, a few aches & pains but for the most, OK.
Callie and Clayton are making the most of their single life. Cal will start school soon, very excited for her.
Clayton got his first hair trimming (not a cut), it looks cute.
Ms Wilma had back surgery (at 86) but doing very well, got rid of most of the pain.
Melissa is trying to get things together. Had to move out of the family home (selling) and she will try to get a trailer and start her life over. The loss of MA and You has really torn her apart but she is a strong woman and will survive.
Be Safe With God, lots of love & hugs, miss you so much. Father's Day to your Dad from all of us.

Got you some pictures of your grandson.

Tired out tonight, we kept Clayton for 4 hours tonight for Callie to babysit. He is such a pleasure. It amazes me at how much he has progressed. Not walking yet but he's learned to go up and down the steps in the den. He also likes to catch Ron napping and he stands up by the couch and pulls Ron's hair on his chess and his mustach.
Lu and Annie had me over for lunch today,and as alwayws Lou put on a feast. It was delicious and the company was great. Enjoyed remembering old times.
Enough son, I love you. Be Safe With God.

Hi Spider, Guess the only way to say what's happening is to just come out and day it. Your precious Callie and Clayton are single, Ryan has asked for a divorce 'he isn't happy'. Things will work out for our precious kids but it will be tough for a while. My angel please watch over them always and put in a word to God for us. God Bless them.
Clayton is getting better all the time, he climbs up the steps to the kitchen. He is such a pleasant little fellow, you would definately love him. Tiff and the girls are good.
I love you, Be Safe With God.

Oh My, such a beautiful time of the year. Grass green, flowers blooming, birds chirping and temperature as good as it gets (about 70).

SameO/SameO, nothing going on. Went to N.O. today and saw the Navy ships that are in town for the 200 year Navy Week. 2 ships from Indonesia were awsome, and their were alot of Navy destroyers, etc. Very intereting.
The White's are doing fine. Clayton Ray is so wonderful (don't worry I give him kisses on the nose for you all the time).
Very tired tonight, more later. I love you Spider.

Easter has come and gone, we didn't do anything special (termite work at the house). Clayton had to go to Children's Hospital with high fever. He has the flu. Poor baby sounds like he is going to be one to get everything going around. He is much better today, fever finally broke, he'll be good as new in a couple of days. Cal wasn't feeling up to par today besides being worn out but with Clayton she has to keep going.
Enough for now, much love & hugs

Clayton's b'day party was the going event in Belle Chasse, a hugh success. So many friends and relatives came out to help celebrate Clayton's 1st B'day.
You would have been so proud of Callie she pulled off this outing without asking for help. It all came together and so many contributed at the end. So now we look forward to his 2nd.
Later. Love Ya. Be Safe With God.

By the way your Sis Barbara and Vanessa and the Bullfrog came in from Baton Rouge to help Clayton celebrate. That was so thoughtful.
