So very sorry for your loss, Betty and Larry. I have wonderful memories of my mom and dad (Ken and Edna Stewart), your mom and dad, Lillie Mae and Harold Craig, Clyde and Jo Bentley all playing cards at each other houses. Always food and drink involved as well as laughter and perhaps a groan or two. Always enjoyed your mom and dad. I was thinking that you lived over by the old Harrison elementary school? We lived on Central, the Craig's lived on Macon, the Bentley's lived on Allison, over by the hogbacks. I was remembering also that we got a puppy from you once for my sister Joyce for her birthday. It was either a siberian husky or a malamute? Can't remember which one. Anyway. I just wanted to convey my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Take care and God Bless you.

So sorry for the loss of Jean. I have wonderful memories of Mom and Dad, (Edna and Ken Stewart), Jo and Clyde Bentley, Harold and Lillie Mae Craig and your mom and dad all getting together to play cards. Always foods and drink involved! And oh! SO much laughter! That was a rowdy crowd if I ever saw one! Another memory is that we got a pup from one of your dog's litters. I think it was either a siberian husky or a malamute? Anyway. Wanted to convey our condolences from the Stewart family. Ron, Cheryl, Joyce and Randy Stewart.
