I have so many fond memories of Ty. What fun we had in High School! He was a good man and I'll miss him. I'm so glad y'all came to see us here in Boerne. The kids still say, " rukh- ro" and talk about Ty when we play Uno. He was funny and fun. How fortunate you were to have so many years together! You're in my thoughts and prayers during these coming days. God bless you, Mary.
