Place: McKinney TX Comments: We are keeping Sarah and their family in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers. Very sad news. Thank you for letting us know, Sandy.
Place: North Richland Hills, TX Comments: This is so sad about sweet Sammy. My heart goes out to Sarah. Also sorry to hear about Gordy's situation. Prayers for him also.
Place: Garland Comments: Our prayers and thoughts go out to Sarah and family. Sammy will truly be missed.
Place: Sammy Smith Comments: It is with the saddest heart I have to let you know our good friend Sammy R. Smith has passed away. He's been sick the last few weeks and he passed around 2 to 3am this morning. Please keep Sarah, his loving wife, in your prayers. This is terrible news to all of us and I am devastated. Will let you know as arrangements are made.
Place: Richardson Comments: Most all of us know Gordy . . . the BBQ & Salsa King. He said it was alright to post an update on his condition. A little over 2 yrs ago he had his right knee replaced. He wasn't worried because same Dr had done his left knee a year before that and it went smoothly. Quick recovery & he was back on the BBQ road again. This one didn't go well from the start. Dr left a nerve in his leg touching the bone & he woke up to excruciating pain. Next day surgery to fix it. He wasn't doing that well and another surgery to fix another problem. Then he developed "drop foot". It got worse. He couldn't drive. Finally had his car retrofitted for hand controls because he's a hard man to stop. But his foot got worse and never got better. Finally, after consulting with more doctors and one was a vein specialist it was determined blood wasn't getting down to his foot and it was serious. Last week on 4-14 he had a major surgery to seal off the bad vein and reroute the blood flow to a good vein in hopes to get blood flow down to his foot. This week on 4-20 he was moved to a rehab center. He has an incision from his ankle all the way up! 122 staples! He is determined he's getting out soon and said today he will be at our Mini. I told him he has 4 weeks so quit rushing it. If anyone wants to call or send a card, I think he'd really appreciate it. He asked me today how long we've know each other and it was since I was 5 when we moved to Oak Cliff 3 doors up from him. Guess that makes it 69 years. I would think he will be there for at least a week. A few prayers would be nice. Thank you! Villages of Lake Highland, 8615 Lullwhater Dr., Dallas 75238. His cell is 469-314-0500
Place: Richardson Comments: Me too Donnie & Barb! When the pics from the 4-13-19 Mini popped up on FB it brought back some very good and some sad memories. I took a good pic of Ronney & Connie and she's no longer with us. Everyone, see your friends when you can . . . you may not get a 2nd chance. Don't forget, next Mini is May 21st.
Place: Garland Comments: looking forward to seeing everyone.
Place: Richardson Comments: Karen & Jimmie - hate to hear you can't make the Mini but certainly understand why. It's hard to believe we all have G-kids graduating H. S. and headed to college. If y'all should get a couple of hours to break away and stop by for a brief hello . . . would love to see you. Enjoy the wonderful graduation!
Place: Bosque County TX Comments: Just realized we have a conflict with the May 21st date and I'm sorry we won't make it. Our daughter has let me know that they are having a party on that date for our twins (turning 19) and graduating from High School. Needless to say, we are so sorry to miss. And just a little info on college choices - Adrien will be attending TAMU Galveston and Max is staying in Collin County to go to community college for the first year. I cannot believe my babies are old enough to go to college!! We will be in the Dallas area all that weekend as graduation is on the 23rd. Again, so sorry, if anything changes - we will let you know.
Place: Richardson Comments: Talked with both Rick Watts & Rick Mitchell and both plan to attend the Mini. We're going to have a nice crowd of old friends to laugh, chat and have fun with on May 21st!! Hope you have circled that date on your calendar!
Place: Richardson Comments: Ok Carol, thanks for the reminder! Yes you did attend our 50th and we did speak but, that was almost 6 years ago . . . in my mind that is a long time. ![[wink]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif "Wink - ;)") It would be great if you could get Janice Penn to attend!! It is a really good thing being able to stay in touch and see photos of friends via FB. I get really put out with it sometimes but I still look every day so I can see what's happening in Amarillo and all over where I have friends and family. Looking forward to seeing you again in May! ![[thumb]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif "Thumb - :thumb:")
Place: Amarillo Comments: Hey Sandy, I'm not on the guest book often, but I just saw your comment about not seeing me "in years". But wait, I was at the 50th in 2016, not so long ago, and ![[confused]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif "Confused - :confused:") I'm pretty sure I remember seeing you. Weren't you there? Ha! Just kidding, you were a very busy lady that weekend, but didn't we chat for a minute? Oh well, at least we see each other on FaceBook occasionally. See ya again soon! ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") BTW, I'm hoping to talk my good friend Janice Penn Headley into joining the little get-together. She spends a lot of time with her daughter in Flagstaff AZ, but still lives in San Antonio. A trip to Dallas will be fun!
Place: Richardson Comments: That's a really nice offer Don L. If it's OK with you I'm going to wait until closer to the time. He is apprehensive about coming and may not want to stay the entire time. I'll follow up with his dtr a few days before and see what the situation may be. Thank you!
Place: LV, TX Comments: If Jack wants a ride up to the mini, I have to come up I-35 thru "Waxie" anyhow and will be glad to swing by to give him a lift.
Place: Richardson Comments: It is exciting Paul, with so many coming it will really be like a Mini Reunion. I'd like to give you a little heads up regarding Jack Sanders. I talked with him last night to confirm Mini details. He seemed really concerned when he found out it was on Hwy 75 in Richardson. He said it's a long way from Waxahachie & not sure he could find his way. I asked if Tina was there and he handed her the pho. Jack lives with his dtr, Tina, in Waxahachie, she takes care of things for him and was there for him during his cancer treatments. I told her if she could possibly bring Jack up here for maybe a few hours to visit with us it would really be appreciated. Assured her we are all nice and very welcoming and she would probably have a nice time. She took all the info and said she just might do it. If they come, be forgiving with Jack as he can't remember names and feels very self conscious about it. Hell, I can't remember names . . . be nice to me!!
