Leanne, Mardi and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Since I have recently lost my mother as well, I know this is a hard time for you all. But, I also know you must have many wonderful memories and pray that they will bring you comfort, along with the knowledge that she is in good hands...in the place we all aspire to go. God bless.

Mardi, God has placed a wonderful woman in your life for 80+ years, a dear jewel who had love in her heart for her family and the HLS&R. May God grant you his peace during your bereavement period. I knew Mary from the rodeo, she and Mary Graham called me their "Chocolate Child". Karen from METRO (Rodeo Express)

She was a true lady--always a twinkle in her eye. I enjoyed being at the 'Stros games with her. I'm sure she was glad that Ausmus is staying another year! Love you all,
