I just found out about Ada today. I used to work on her sprinkler system on Toledo street, she was always very nice and I'm glad I got to know her, she had the coolest looking house! God bless you mis Ada.

I never met Ada. I did not know of her passing until after her funeral, yet felt I knew her through her lovely daughter, Lisa Grace, who's also left us. Scott, that was a wonderful, sweet "love letter" you wrote when Lisa died. Am so sorry you and Connor have been through so much. Hang in there!

I am Julie's stepmother, Patricia Cole. Your lovely wife, Lisa, stopped by whenever she was in Lubbock. She called me and very sweetly asked if I remembered her. I said, "I sure do! I even remember your middle name, Lisa Grace." She giggled. When she arrived, it was as though the years since visits had just melted away. I did get to meet Connor once at Julie's home in Paradise. Am sorry you didn't come. My deepest sympathy. My email address is [email protected]. My phone is 806-445-1323. May God Bless you and Conner.
