Dearest Helen, Treasure the many wonderful memories you have of your mother. I lost my mom this spring and I KNOW first hand what a difficult road lies ahead. Trust in the Lord and lean on Him. I pray He may be your place of refuge, strength and understanding. God Bless you and hold you all in His loving and tender hands, Jo Ann

To Helen, Buffy, Kenny and family of Ms. Blow...as you celebrate the life of your mother and grandmother please know that the family of your late husband and father Dennis Houston will keep you all in our hearts and in our prayers. Ms. Blow "always" had kind words of wisdom and a smile and always shared both with our mom. She loved their talks and was comforted by them and for that we will always be grateful. May the Lord continue to watch over your family and provide you with comfort and peace. Love Always, Jonice Isom, Linda Harvey and Terri Thompson.
