So sorry for the loss of your mom. She used to come to my beauty shop. Loved doing her hair and the fellowship we had. She was a wonderful Christian lady. Honored to have called her my friend. Vivian Mitchell

To the kids… I don’t know you but I was a neighbor of Tommie and Dale for years in Homeland. My house is across a couple of fields from theirs. I was also a fellow member of VFW Post 1828 which is where I met your mom and dad.
My condolences… I miss both of them. I used to visit them and they always treated me well. I would hardly hit the front door and get seated on a stool at the kitchen bar before a cup of coffee was placed in my hand and with a twinkle in her eye, Tommie would start her good hearted banter with me usually concerning something to do with the VFW while Dale would sip on his coffee and smile at some of the banter going on.
God bless you and yours…
