We are sorry for your loss. We have wonderful memories of your mom at our family reunions. She will always have a special place in our hearts! God bless all of you!
My condolences to the family, Art and Anna were wonderful neighbors, such a lovely couple , I enjoyed visiting with them.
Really enjoyed our “Get Togethers” in Flat Rock, NC. Two of the best people one could know.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I loved visiting with Anna and Art when they would come to Lubbock to see Jim, Diane, and their grandchildren.
