I am Martha Messer's sister, Donna. I also remember Mr.& Mrs Whyman. I not only worked at the shops, but also babysat the girls. The family is in our prayers.

It is with fond memories that I remember Mr. & Mrs. Wyman. I grew up across the street from them for a period of time - when the family lived on Rice Avenue and we lived at the corner of Rice and Palmetto in Bellaire. Also, I worked on holidays, during the summer and sometimes after school at the card shop downtown. Mr. & Mrs. Wyman were very good to "us kids" with offering work opportunities. I know you will miss your mom. Fondly,
