"I was so sorry to hear about Bill. I remember coming to your house when I was young. I came over to see Phyllis. We would ride on the propane tank and believe it was a horse. I sure miss Phyllis. We were real good friends in the fourth grade. I don't know how much more your family can take. Hang in there. Keep your mother healthy and safe.Love Kelly Henry Stewart

"Miss Earline, Laquita, and Gail, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Bill. I remember when he would come into Mom and Dad's store at Tulot; he was always smiling and talking about you girls and the grandchildren. I know this is hard, but with lots of prayers, tears, and laughter from remembering the good times, it does get better with time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all
