DeeDee & Nathan,
Sending my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your dad. I noted in the obit the 6 grandchildren who brought joy to his earthly journey. My prayer is you and your individual families are well. I cherish the wonderful memories of our shared journey at PHS. DeeDee as NHS pres, valedictorian & then off to college(was Harding but catch me up on the rest of your story). Nathan, in class with Sheralyn(now a peditirican in Boerne) ...how many strikes I watched you throw(and very few balls). Your parents were so supportive of you both and truly solidified those character values which are yearned for today in students. God bless you both.

Lillian, Dee Dee, Nate, and family, we were so sad to hear of D.C.'s passing. We were blessed to spend a lot of time with him and Lillian working in the Prison Ministry in Lockhart, TX, and the foundation they laid for that work continues to bless so many people today, years after health issues forced them to stop making their regular trips to the prison. God will surely reward an unselfish life spent in this manner, and it was our great privilege to serve with both D.C. and Lillian in that good work. We look forward to seeing him again when our Lord returns. God bless you all with countless memories of the good times you were able to share with D.C. during his life,

Lillian,

I remember you and Durene well from our days at DLC and from seeing you two at our 50th Class Reunion in October 2013. I wish the dice could have fallen the other way last week.

Love,
