Janelle & Becky---Carol and I offer our deepest sympathies for your loss. Dock and your Mom were both wonderful individuals who were loved greatly by all who knew them.. They were so much fun, and we know that you have great memories. Your Mom and I worked together at Bayou Blue Elementary and carpooled to work..We always had great times in Grand Isle; your Dad always had great jokes to tell or "show". They both had a great life. Both of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear of Doc's passing. The price family was an integral part of my life growing up. He and Dad were very close friends and worked together at Interstate/Humble Pipeline. Janelle, please instant message or email me at [email protected]. Love to you and Beckie.

Miss Price I never had the pleasure of meeting your dad but I know that he raised a special lady. Sorry for your loss,but you had him for 99 yrs. That is so awesome. Feel blessed,which I am sure you do,and celebrate his life. For he lived a very long one. Hugs to you at this time of need. If this does not sound right it is because maybe I should've paid more attention in class. Lol. Hope that gave you a little chuckle.
