Dear friends from so long ago. I was shocked to see the obit in the paper. When I last saw Don and Babes, they were young and healthy (weren't we all?). Mickey Don was a baby that Mickey and I carried around everywhere we went when we dated, back in the early 50's. I think it was Mickey Don that I met when I went to see Onell as she lay in state at Mount Olivet a few years back. I'd like to talk to Babes if she is willing. Dorothy Null Parker 817-498-1660. I remember eating supper at their house on Nina Lane so many times and double dating with Don and Babes. Thank God for memories. My condolences to the family.

It's been a privilege to have known Kenneth for 52 years. Goose and I were partners on police patrol and I knew I could always count on him any time. He was a true friend and we had many good times together. Sending our condolences to Babes and the family - you are in our thoughts and prayers.
