I remember how my mama use to always talk about PaPa's driving. And the other day we went to visit someone in the hospital and the way that little man was driving that car I sure thought about my daddy (PaPa). He was trying to back out of a parking space and he kept going back and forward on his brakes trying to get out, after about 3 or 4 attempts he made it out. I told William that is PaPa he must still be here. So Mama is PaPa up there with you or is he still here with us? We had a good laugh. The bible tells us that laughter is good for the soul. As much as I loved my daddy I didn't want to get in the car with him either. But back in the day my dad was an excellent driver. He use to drive us to Louisiana and everywhere. I don't know what happened when he hit 70 years old. After that everyone that got in the car with him knew they were getting in at their own risk. LOL

Bea, wanted to go to the Lee William's Concert, but know one was going but me (clarence). Bea was scared to ride with me, she said I drove to fast.
She had no other way to go but with me to the concert.   So she decided to ride with me, I picked her up and all the way to the concert she held on to the door knob. Did not say a word but she was praying all the time. She had a real good time at the concert.  On the way back home she did the same thing did not say a word but prayed all the way back. We made it home safely. When she opened the door then she said THANK YOU JESUS.   GLORY TO GOD.   This is my memory of my trip with Bea.  I miss you so much, i don't have anyone to speak french with. I know you are teaching the Angel's how to speak french.  


Love you Baby Brother Clarence   

I remember when me and kip was planning for a big wedding and didn't really have the money. mama said u don't need a big wedding just go to the court house because people who have big weddings don't usually last. so if u love each other just do it at court house. and u know what? that's what we did. and we've been married for 21 years. smart woman. 

I remember when me and Maw Maw would go to HEB, she would always look at the nutritional facts on the food cans. She took good care of herself and she taught me to look at the sodium and carbs and sugars in what I was putting into my body. I will always treasure and miss our grocery store visits! We would be in the store all day for 3 items because we had to read all food labels!...miss you Grandma!

My mom was known for her cooking, she was an excellent cook. Chu-Chute was my mom's pet dog, he was a chow. There were a lot of times when people would come in her house and smell the sweet savor of food cooking. But the food was for Chu-Chute. Yes, Chu-Chute ate home cooked meals. He would not eat dog food, because he was accustomed to eating just as good as her family. I often came in the house and would say to MaMa; I'm hungry what are you cooking, and she would reply I'm cooking this for Chu-Chute. She would make special trips to the grocery store to buy meat especially for her dog. After she cooked the food she would take it outside to Chu-Chute and he would be so happy. She loved Chu-Chute and Chu-Chute loved her. We know Chu-Chute must have known she had passed away, because he stop eating and was very depressed and not long after that Chu-Chute died also.
