Aunt Mary Lou and Uncle Allen were so enjoyable. She being so outgoing and he so quiet, like his sister Marian, my mother. My brother's Steve, Mike and I had lost track of them, so did not know when they passed. I just now found this web site, so will pass my very late condolences. Hope all is well with your family.

Melinda and Jaymie,
Sorry for the loss of your mother. Hope I am not sending twice as I had my curser over send and it went to another page. Melinda, I remember they had a 16th birthday party for us and you were this beautiful blond and I was a geek, nerd, or both. I remember Tony and his mustang and as his sight was failing Lee Byrns helped him. Now Lee is in bad shape and may not be here much longer. I lost my Dad in 1992 and mother had a car wreck (she was T-Boned) and now resides at RiverOaks. We're not kids anymore when we lose our parents. I still miss Dad even after over 20 years, but his memories are good. Hopefully, your memories are also. May God Bless both of you as we continue this journey on our temporary home - Kenny Jackson

Jayme, I'm so sorry to read about your mother's death in the obituaries. It was always fun to visit with her with she brought you for piano lessons. And there couldn't haven't been a prouder mother. I'm sure you have many happy memories. Eulalie Wilson

We spent a lot of time with Mary Lou and her wonderful family in our early years. She was great lady and I can remember her and my Dad's laughter ringing through out the house!
