Girls,It has been many, many years since I lived next door to you at the end of the "U" in Bridge City, but I still remember all of us playing together along with the other neighbor kids. Neil, the Wright children, etc. I am saddened by the passing of your father. I had heard that Fannie died through my mother, Velta Darnell. She has been gone for 2 1/2 years. I miss her every day, as well as my husband who just recently died. Cling to your loved ones and express your love every day... as we never know when it will be your last.Brenda Darnell SheffieldKirbyville, TX

Dot,
Our hearts are saddened of your loss of Grover. I remember how happy the two of you were on April 15, 1997 as the two of you stood in front of me to repeat your vows. The very first couple I had ever married. How honored I was to have the privilege of being a part of your lives.
May God's peace and grace fill the emptiness of your heart.
With much love and deepest sympathy .
Ron & Shirley Thiebaud
