Kathy, Condolences on your dads passing. thinking of you at this difficult time
To the Newhook family; I was so sad to read about Mr. Newhook (he’ll always be “Mr. Newhook” to me.). I have such good memories of him during the time you guys lived in Stephenville. I’m glad that I had a few opportunities to see him a few times over the past couple of years. My sister Jane and I think of your family often and I wish you all the best. Stay strong in your memories of him,
Lisa
