Velda, Steve and Families,
I cherish memories from our childhood when your family and mine were close and visited whenever possible. My mother, Margie Allen, passed away April 10, 2014. Our mothers will always be a part of our lives and missed beyond words. I've thought of you all many times and spoke with Elaine in 2011. May God bless and comfort you all.

To Velda, Bill and family: what an honor to have met Mrs. Clary and to correspond with her from Dallas to Little Rock just after meeting her. I considered her a friend. She will be missed but she is such a beautiful addition to her heavenly home. What a blessing that is.

I am so sorry to hear of "Aunt" Elaine's passing. I have known her since meeting Debbie at Harding University. I enjoyed many weekends working with/for Elaine and Joe at their restaurants when they needed some extra help while Debbie and I were students. I am praying for all you.
In HIm,
