I am so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. She was a wonderful person and raised some just as wonderful girls.
I've sure missed seeing any of you through the years.

Alma was a very special friend. Her smile would light a room. We will be praying for you. Johnny has an appointment in Lufkin, so we will not
be able to attend the service.

Jackie, Dinky, Brenda, & Glenda: Mrs. Alma was such a "jewel" to all who knew her. We became close when she did so many alterations for me while I was working at Toni's Boutique. She also altered both my daughters wedding gowns as no one else could touch. If you wanted it done right, she was the expert. She always greeted me with a hug coming & going and usually had some cute words of wisdom about whatever was going on at the time. I have missed her dearly since she left, but I know you all got to enjoy her more. As a matter of fact, she would be shocked that I did the same thing and moved to Kingwood after a llifetime in Livingston to be close to my daughters after Bubba passed away. What a fun, beautiful angel she is making and heaven will get to enjoy! Love, Linda N. Watson
