Dear Greg, Elizabeth, Chad, Andrew, Sylvia and Dan,

The Aggies, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the banking industry and OUR FAMILY will miss Bubba. I remember sitting on my Dad's shoulders and watching Bubba graduate from Texas A&M. We watched the Corp of Cadets march down the campus street with all their shiny boots and swords. I thought he was a true Texas cowboy. We love you Bubba.

C. S. - a rock to so many of us.
He always had a positive, often humorous, word for all.

If something needed to be done, C. S. was there to do it, even better than was expected.

He made our lives better.

Paul and Clarence go way back to Jr. High and activities together. Paul died of cancer in 2003. I always loved talking to Clarence - last time I saw him was at the 50 year reunion when I told him about Paul's death. He was a dear, sweet person and I am glad that he is no longer suffering. We will all miss him.
