So sorry for your loss. Jetta was a sweet lady. I met her and Billy when my son's father was working for them. We have stayed at their cabin and fished on Salado creek many times. She was loved and will be missed by many. Prayers for your family

Billie Ruth, Dene & Heidi & family, I am so sorry for your loss - your mother and grandmother was a wonderful person and a true & caring friend to my mother, Lylamae Williams. I also considered her a friend and enjoyed visiting with her if we had some extra produce to share. She was always so appreciative of any kindness extended to her - she and my mother were true Southern ladies and loved their families with all they hearts. She will be sorely missed by all who were blessed to know her Lila Williams Harmon and Gordon Harmon & family.
