To my favorite former neighbors, the Majoues . . .



I just heard, and it hurts my heart to think of losing Paw Paw.



I can't help but think, though . . . how much better is heaven going to be now that Paw Paw Majoue and Wild Bill Young will be there to greet us when we get there?



I love y'all, and I am praying special prayers for you and Paw Paw.

To Dean (and family):



Getting the opportunity to work with you and your company, it's obvious that your father was a man of character and compassion and instilled those qualities in you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Michelle and the rest of the Majoue family, I am deeply sorry for the loss your family has experienced. I will always remember seeing Paw Paw cheer us on at all of our Runnels games. He will always be in our hearts.

Dear Majoues,



My heart is broken. I miss Pop; he was my "third" dad. I will remember his vitality, his zestfulness, his exuberance for life. Pop was a wonderfully good man. I am fortunate to have known him the last 10 years, and I was blessed he was my mother's number 1 friend. I would give anything to be sharing a Manhattan with him or dancing to the Beach Boys for him. I will always love Pop and hold him in a special place in my heart. Yes, I am smiling for what was!

To the Majoue's...Paw Paw will be missed so much by all of us who love him and love you. He was truly a loving and wonderful man who touched so many lives out there. We're sending all our prayers to you and your family. He was just a great man.
