We love you, Mamaw. So sorry for the loss of your sweet Papaw. You have both blessed our lives and our children's and grand-children's! Our love and prayers for you and Si, Jr. and Mike.
Was very sorry reading of Mr. B passing. Mr. & Mrs. Bonner lived in our Oak Forest neighborhood when I was growing up. Their youngest son (Mike) was my best friend from the 1st grade. Mr.B was one of the most honest and respected dads that I new. He & Mrs. B put up with all kinds of shenanigans that Mike & I would get into. Our prayers to Mrs. B, Mike, Si Jr. & family. Our thoughts are with you all. Brian & BJ Biggers

Sorry to hear about Silas. I worked with him at East Texas Motor freight until 1961. My wife and I were married at Temple Baptist 1956. We attended there the last week of August this year and I asked about Silas. There were only 2 people there who knew us. It was our 58th anniversary..
Please accept or condolences for the loss of a good man.
