So sorry I can’t be there but my prayers are with all of you.
You were so loved Uncle Houston and no one could ever quite say “Mitzi Gayle” like you did. It always made me smile like my frog joke made you smile. So many wonderful memories of vacations and Sunday game days, Christmases, your overalls and pineapple rolls. You will be missed more than you could ever imagine. I love you and glad that you can be with Aunt Joyce again.
So sorry for your loss. Praying for your family.
Houston was not only a well respected Trooper, he was a good man and a friend to all. I was saddened to hear of his passing.
Sorry I was unable to attend the services but the family has my sympathy.
