Good morning, everyone.  I have information on Patty Williams' service to share with you. Before I do that, I want to say how much I will miss Patty!  We have been close friends since Waltrip, sharing all aspects of our lives.  I will miss her fun ways, her wonderful sense of humor, her caring through hard times, and even through her illness her positive outlook on all things. We were fortunate enough to be able to travel together through the past few years and I have wonderful, special memories of those trips. Although I will miss her terribly, I also know how how sick she has been for most of this past year.  She will no longer suffer and is at peace and no longer suffering.  I will carry with me for the rest of my liife the wonderful memories and shared times we had together!

.  I was so surprised to see the post from Patty Williams daughter on Facebook last week.  I am glad that you stayed close to her Susan.  Our childhood friends are a blessing.  I will drive to Houston for the service. A few years ago  Pat Edward's sent me a photo of she and I on Santa's lap at foley's when we were 13 or 14.  I treasure these pictures when I see them.  I have been trying to get through boxes of photos.  It's a job.

pat Edward's daughter is a teacher here in new Braunfels.  Skeeter Apostolo lives here too.  I have seen Pat's daughter, but never run into Skeeter.  This used to be a smaller place.  My sister lives in west Houston but doesn't drive out of her neighborhood.  I guess our worlds get smaller as we age.  I rarely shop when I visit Houston.  There is one place that is the exception.  Houston pecan company on Ashcroft is the only place I buy nuts for baking.  I mail order from them if I am not going to be there.  Founded by one of Schlindler'd kids.  He was the kindest man I have ever met.  His daughter runs it now.  They have the best nuts and healthy snacks.  My son in law buys gifts for business.  End of commercial.  I was just thinking about how we ran all over Houston as kids.  Now my sister won't drive over to Ashcroft.  She pays for mail delivery.

For anyone who might be wondering about how Gary Jorden is recouping after our last reunion, he is recovering slowly, taking physical therapy (not bad looking therapist), ribs healing as well as sternum ( not 100% yet), but definitely on the road to recovery!  

Jimmie Lee Smith (Brawner)

Thanks so much, Robert, for the update on Gary Jorden.  Happy to hear he's improving.  Recovering from those injuries takes time.  Grateful he's getting PT and nice he has a beauty to help him

Jenny Taylor, can you trace Laura Bowers?  She married Ronnie Matelski and has two children when I lost touch in 1975.  Ronnie worked for Aramco and they lived in Saudi Arabia at that time.

I just wanted you folks to know that Gary Jorden passed away yesterday. He never recovered from the fall at our last class reunion. I don't have any information further than that at this time. 

People have many friends during their life but only a few are true friends. Gary was one of these.

Johnny Sheffield

Our prayers go out to Gary's family.

May gods blessing be with Marilyn and the family

during this time.
