Thank you Aunt Lela for all of the wonderful years that you blessed us with your presence here. I have many happy memories of spending Christmas with you, Uncle Archie, and Nanny. I will also cherish the times we shared when I would come stay with you during summer vacation. I took advantage of all the tractor rides that Uncle Archie gave me on his tractor. I wonder how many miles we put on it? I'm glad you are not suffering anymore but I do miss you. I will smile everytime I watch the Cowboys play and know that you are watching them with me. I love you. Mike##imported-begin##Mike Ford##imported-end##

Your zest for life in traveling the world; cheering on your "Cowboys"; good cooking and going "to the boat" always hoping for that Big One to hit will forever be part of my wonderful memories of you and our many trips to Longview. Few in this world will touch lives the way you have. You will be in my heart always.
Love

Lela was a very special person and we will miss our "annual" trips to East Texas to visit...Lela and my mother took many trips together and "as the little boys says," I have the pictures to prove it. Those two were "cut-ups" and knew how to have fun.
We'll miss you sweet lady...
