Nine years have passed. So many things have changed the little kids then are graduating high school and going to college. You even have a beautiful great granddaughter now. I miss you and grandma. Wish we could go on one more road trip! I think of you two often. Love

Dear Roberta & Eddie,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I came to your house on Granger many times during our high school years. Your mom was a dear lady. I know the great comfort God can bring at this time. You are in my prayers.

Dear Ashton family I was saddened of the news of Aggie's passing. I was fortunate to share her friendship and companionship attending Saturday Mass services over the past several years. Her thoughtfulness and kindness were wonderful gifts she shared with those who knew her.

It was our fortune having her as a friend. She will be missed.

I grew up directly across the street from Agnes and her family. I have only the fondest of memories of Agnes' smiling face, and smiling voice, as she put up with Eddie and me running through the house. I remember on hot summer days, Agnes would put out a large pitcher of ice cold lemonade for the garbage collectors. Thanks for the love you added to my childhood, Agnes!
