Hey Cave Belle SDHS 1960! There was always something extra about you--extra pretty, extra nice, extra thoughtful and kind. Houston has obviously become a better place through you. It has been some 63 years since we last met but I will never forget you. May your family know how much you were treasured by so many so many years ago. Your old friend, Carol Markel Pavlinik

I love you Ada, and I love your children. You have always been kind to me. You allowed me, Traci, and Mark the run of your house (and the run of the canyon) when you used to babysit, you fed us well, and you were honest. Your love for family, extended family, and community have been undeniable, and I thank you for being a beautiful part of my childhood.
