Tommy, I find that situations and "visual clues" bring back memories of Uncle and Aunt Isna. I really miss them both and think of them often.

Janet and Tommy,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Papa Bec was like a Dad to us growing up and never forgot us and was always there to help us in any way he could. See you when I go home next week.

Janet and Tommy-
I was very sorry to read the news of your father in the newspaper. I remember him well - from my days in Reserve. Your father always had something nice to say about my mother, because he would tell her that she always asked and remembered/pronounced your mother's name correctly.
The best to you and your family.

I know how sad you are to see your Dad pass Janet and Tommy, but he is in a far better place than he experienced during his last months of suffering here. Uncle Nal helped me throughout my life as he did for so many, he helped me get a job to send myself to LSU, he helped me with very important legal matters, he helped my wife get a teaching job she needed badly, and he always greeted me with respect and love. I love him like a Dad too, and he is the only Tiger I know who is stauncher than I. God bless and keep him. I will miss him for the rest of my time.

Janet and Tommy, Along with your Aunt Nonore, I would like to express our condolescences to you and your family from the northern contingent. We are all so happy we had the opportunity to visit with your Dad, my uncle Bec last year for his birthday. He was so wonderful keeping up with my mom especially following my dad, your uncle Lee's passing last year. It was so wonderful to hear those great stories of the past. Those memories will live on. Fondly, Your cousin, Mary Ellen Kenney and the Hymel Family.

Dear Janet and Tommy,
I already miss him, but can't you just picture him with his family all around him, back together again with Aunt Isna and his brothers and sister, making the coffee. I hear fish court bullion is on the menu! We people of faith, we know where they are and where we someday hope to be.
With love and sorrow, Priss

My heartfelt condolences to my cousins, Tommy and Janet, on the loss of their Father and my Uncle. I learned more than you know from my year with my Aunt Isna and Uncle Nal back in '68 and '69. I will miss him. We will never forget the Old Tiger's "Greenie Weenie" and his love of life and all of us who had the pleasure of being a part of it.
