Nelda, praying God’s comfort for you during this difficult
time.
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss of Monte Don. I let Gay know about it, and we had quite a walk down memory lane. We rode the bus with Monte Don, and Daddy and Mother (Boots and Opal Yankie) were great friends of his parents, Bit and Mugg, as well as our Grandmother Zola Whitfield Yankie. We really were neighbors or considered ourselves so living around Erath. . I spent many happy times visiting their home in Erath tagging along with Daddy on his visits.
You’re in our prayers as you travel this new road. Gay lost her husband two years ago and she is so sorry you’re now experiencing this deep loss. We send our love and prayers. Gay Yankie Sidarous and Nancy Yankie Sidarous
