Jane,
I remember your mother so well from living across the alley from her after Jimmy and I first married, as well as, growing up together and being in each other’s home.
I know she will be greatly missed by all of you and I am deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my mother April 1 of this year, so I can certainly empathize with you.
May God Comfort and Bless You.

Jane and family, Thank you so much for informing me of Gene’s passing…. I had another funeral today in Ardmore at 11 am. I am sorry I could not come to your mothers funeral… I loved Gene, she was always so sweet to me. She was a very dedicated employee of C F W and a good friend to me…. I know you will miss her . My deepest sympathies to you and the family. Linda Keith
