Viola and I worked together at Pecos Company during the late 1950's. We later revived our friendship at Southcrest Baptist Church where I believe her membership remains. Viola is a lovely lady and my Christian friend. God Bless, R.C. Littlefield

Marilyn Kay, you do not know me, but my mother and your mother were classmates at Friendship and graduated together. We visited your parents when they lived in Tucumcari in 1945 or somewhere in that time frame. I vaguely remember playing with you at that time. My mother is Charlotte Pauline McClure Middleton. My mother thought so much of your mother that she wanted me to convey this to you. They had some wonderful times together. We extend our sympathy to you and your family.
