Bob & Dianna & Family,
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. You are all in our prayers. May you cherish all your precious memories to give you comfort.
Lenora was such a awesome woman. I took care of her legal business for 25 years at Joe F. Watson’s Office. She had me come to her house and see the horses, and was active in the Democrat Party with me when I was Central Committee Secretary. She always let you know her opinion on whatever the topic was. I admired Lenora for “telling it like it was”. I will miss her dearly and keep fond memories of our adventures together.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was my mom’s roommate at Miller’s and she was always such a classy and cute little woman. She and my mom got along great.
Great friends with my dad. I remember her being on green street north of my grandparents and dad saying very nice things about her. Sunny and dad were close friends too. Sorry for the passing.
Bobby and Debbie , I can’t say enough about your precious mother . She was one of a kind and raised both of you with such pride !!!! I loved her and you two so much . She was so awesome to all the neighborhood kids. The green and brown station wagon we rode in the games , following the fire trucks, and she hauling every kid to the ball games .
