    Rex, sorry to read about your mother. And I had a chance to meet her several times along with your Dad also. Your mom was a tough cookie and I liked that about her.

    Rex, Randy and Rick,

    Our parents shared a life long friend ship. I remember my mother teasing Genevieve that she was older because my mother was born January 30, 1933 also in Melvern, KS. My parents cherished seeing her at the plant reunions once Daddy retired and they moved back to Lawrence. My memories of your mother are of a kind/caring woman, loving wife, proud mother and dear friend. I went to visit my mother today but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her of your loss. My parents are/were Betty and Dale.

    Rex
    I am sorry to hear about your mother.
    She was always a kind and sweet lady.
    I met her when she attended the First Southern Baptist Church in Eudora, many years ago.
    You may not remember me but I worked at K-Mart Distribution with you and rented your upstairs apartment on Ohio.
