Comments: Alvin---God Bless You---your message brought tears to my eyes---what a wonderful person Linda was. Your heart is so full of her love. My deepest heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family as you remember her sweet voice. She will be with you always.
Comments: Don L., did you meet Kathy while you were stationed there?
Comments: Robert - I arrived in Aug. '92, barely got settled & then had to evacuate the area due to hurricane Andrew. I worked at the CG 8th District Office, next to the courthouse in downtown New Orleans, & lived in Mandeville, across the Lake Pontchartrain causeway bridge. I retired there & returned to TX in '96. I knew some of the other Coasties at the CG Air Station & Radio Station in Belle Chasse.
Comments: don i was in belle chase la from 87 till 92. where were you at there. alvin sorry to hear of your loss.
Comments: Alvin - I don't think that I could possibly say it any better then Ronney did, but know that you are in my prayers and thoughts. If there is anything that you need you only need to ask.
Comments: Alvin, I can't imagine how you feel, but you have been on my mind. Keep all of those wonderful memories tucked away so that you can bring them out when you are ready to enjoy them. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.
Comments: Alvin, you were in our thoughts yesterday. I know it was the toughest day of your life. I just wish we had words that would wipe it all away. Even though you will always carry yesterday in your heart, time will help dull the pain. Just know that you have our love and support. I am sure you can call on any of us at any time for support and a listening ear. I pray that God gives you and your family comfort at this time.
Comments: Yesterday, I had to do the toughest thing I have ever had to do. Burying one you have shared 38 years of love and friendship was not easy. It is hard to realize you will never hear their voice or feel their touch again. Linda spared us the decision we were all dreading to have to make on putting her in a nursing home and watch her wither away. My children and I wish to again thank all you guys for all your prayers and thoughts. Don, special thanks to you for representing the Class of 66 and being there in our time of grief. Sandy, many thanks to you for your sweet phone calls and keeping our friends informed. Also, thanks to the class of 67-69 reunion committee for their visits and support. Love all you guys, Alvin, Dylan, Angela and Daniel Rogers
Comments: Sandy McM, Buddy, Jack, Christie - Kathy attended Northwestern State University in Natchitoches (Nack-a-tish), LA, in the early 70's. While I was still stationed in N'awlins during the early 90's, we went up one weekend for the annual Christmas 'Festival of Lights' - that was a major treat! The following year, we talked some friends with an RV into going back up there. If you like the 'City of Lights' in Marshall, TX, you'll like this as well or better. Major fireworks show over the Cane River Lake, along the downtown main drag, with the entire steel bridge across the river lit up with fireworks as the grand finale. I thought I was gonna OD on fried meat pies, jambalaya & dirty rice. I guess the beer saved me. In the movie 'Steel Magnolias', that last scene with the kids & easter egg hunt was filmed along the river bank near downtown. Great place for a special trip, but if you need nearby accommodations, 6-12 mos. in advance is not too early to plan for the Xmas festival. Kathy also makes a great gumbo, as well as crawfish pie. Now, I'm hungry - bye!
Comments: Jack - Just a reminder: don't forget to tell us about "going fishing at International Falls MN on Memorial day weekend".
Comments: Looks like I have a lot to catch up on.I am really sorry, Alvin about Linda.My thoughts are with you and I hope you are OK. I will try and talk later guys,have to get some shuteye.
Comments: Christie yes A good Sally Fields move. trivia Nacodoches (oldest city in Texas) and Natchitioches are named after twins of a Caddo Indian Chief. The Chief would have lived along the Tx-La border sending Natchitioches 3 days ride into sunrise and Nacogdoches 3 days in sunset. Nacogdoches was a Caddo Indian settlement till Spain put a mission in 1716
Comments: McM...Toni is correct...I was just so busy in SC that I couldn't get to my computer. But please don't send me candy...you know why... And finally, Mr. McGee. I believe the last time we played golf...I believe my team beat your team...and if my memory is correct...your first tee shot was way...way...way left and mine was down the middle...so think again my good friend. Thanks Ada Ann...may your team have good fortune as well...and I do know that it is only a game...but for us it is a magical season and it's really hard not to believe...
Comments: Weren't the Steel Magnolias from Nachhitioches, La?
Comments: That should have said Paul's sister. |
