Our sympathies to Scott and Debbie, and Jeff and family members. Your mom was always gracious to me when visiting you lived on Stone Meadows. She was the same gracious lady as a volunteer leader at LMH and went to Wichita to pick up as the Volunteer group won an annual award. May all your fond memories with her comfort you now and in the future of her life well lived.

A wonderful soprano voice in the 1st Christian Church choir. She was one of Juanita Strait's favorites. Her wonderful sons--Scott and Jeff--are testaments to the woman she was.
