So sad to hear about Lahoma's passing. We all have great memories of living East of Shawnee on RR3 (now MacArthur) and what great neighbors we had. Especially your family and your mom and dad sponsoring Hilltop Baptist Church Easter Egg hunts on their property. Time just goes so fast. Our prayers to you.
