To all of Joan's Family,
I am very sorry for the loss of your wife, sister, and grandmother. Joan and I were childhood friends (and we're cousins too) and I have so many wonderful fun memories of her (and Frankie pranking us!) that I'll always cherish. She was always fun to be around.
My prayers are with you all, please find comfort in knowing that Joan is finally at rest.

Dear Dr. Cummings:

Please accept our sympathy for the loss of your loved one. We liked you as a doctor for all the years you practiced in Taylor. We remember when Rebecca was very young when Jean took her to see you the old Johns community Hospital. Jean turned around , and Rebecca was going out the front doors when she heard you were not there. She was about three years old.

May God be with you.
Charles , Jean, & Rebecca Pool Dear Park, Tx

Dear Syrissa and Matt,
Your mom was an amazing person. She truly loved her children and her family. She was a great friend and we had some really great times and made wonderful memories. Her smile and her laugh were beyond contagious and her zest for life a gift to all she touched. I was honored and privileged to be her friend. In my heart and prayers with much love. Becky
