So sorry to hear of Mrs McAdoos passing. I met Mrs McAdoo for the first time in her kitchen in Prairie City. It turned out to be just the first of many as her husband Arlie and I worked together for many years. She was always so gracious and kind to me. I always got a kick out of her when Arlie would say something that would just make her eyes roll upward towards her forehead! Usually about a remodeling project or the trial dogs. Im so sorry for your familys loss. Remember the past and cherish your memories! I will of Mrs McAdoo.

Dear Sharon & Karon...So sad to hear of Doris passing. I have such good memories of being in small group with them, we always had a good time with both Arlie and your Mom. Ive been in South Padre Island since the beginning of January so sadly I wont be able to attend her services. May you feel Gods hands lifting you up as you go through this difficult time and may it be a comfort to you to know they are once again reunited never to be separated again. With my love and deep sympathy to you and your families.
