Alan and family-We were so sorry to hear of your mother's death. I can always remember her wonderful smile and how kind she was to all of us as kids. You should be proud of your parents and how they always had time for you and others. May God comfort you during this hard time. Love, Mary Ann Bower Tucker

I was saddened to read of Mattie Dee's passing. She was a blessing to me and it was an honor to be related to her. My prayers are with you and remember that she is now pain free. I cannot get to Silsbee until Tuesday, but I will be at her memorial service. Love to you all.

Ricky, Allan, Roy and Deborah, My heart is just aching. I loved so many things about your mother. Her smile, that little laugh of hers, her wonderful patience with all of us kids, ect. I find myself remembering all of the wonderful times that I spent with all of you growing up. All of them happy memories. I can't put it all into words but I want you all to know how much you're in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all and will see you soon. Vickie

Deborah, I am so sorry about your loss. However, I am thankful that your Moma finally received her complete healing now that she is in Heaven. And .. because we know that she knew the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour and we know him as our Savior .. we can look forward to that day when we WILL see her again. I love y'all very much. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Angie, JP, Trey, & Travis
