Frances Rogers & Lee Rogers son. Mom always liked working for the two of you @ Williams Shoe Store. They thought a lot of you both; Shirley & Don. Sorry to read about Don in the Chickasha Paper; would not have known otherwise. Lucy & I still live in Chickasha. Ronda & John do too. Kay and Doug live in South Carolina; Shelby & LaVon live in Louisiana. All of you are in our prayers. May God bless you and yours. Shirley (don’t remember who else) came to one of mom’s birthdays (80th maybe) out at the golf course.
