Condolences from the Stickneys in Marion. Many folks here have fond memories of the McConaughys. Though distance has separated our families for years, something will trigger a rememberance of your folks from bygone times. Is there a Scoreboard in heaven? Can you imagine that reunion? Let that spirit encourage us all to make a new friendship or rekindle an old one. Peace be with you.

Bob & Helen were Mom's best friends and
neighbors for many years at Countrydale.
Mom moved to the Willows Assistedliving
up the street in July of 2009.Bob & the
grand children would come to visit her about once a month and she really enjoyed seeing them. Mom is very sorry for your loss as our whole family is. But she is comforted knowing that he and Helen are
together again. God Bless.

I met Bob & Helen playing Bingo at the Elks. They were such a sweet couple. You could tell how much he loved her. Although his passing is sad, I'm glad he has been reunited with Helen. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I worked at the dialysis unit at St. Joe's when Helen was a patient there and Bob would come to visit. Both she and he were loved by the staff and the other patients. I'm sure he will be missed as much as she was. God Bless.
