  1. My prayers to the family. Your mom and my mom were friends at 1st Methodist for years. They were born the same year. I know that you will miss your precious mother. I am grateful for all the wonderful years that we had our moms. They were a special breed of ladies.

  2. As difficult as this time is, may you find comfort in knowing that your mother will always be with you, and the memories you shared will forever be a part of your life.

  3. MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, IT’S NEVER THE CORRECT TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO A LOVED ONE. WE CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE TIME WE HAVE LEFT WILL HONOR THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE. SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN WE WERE AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH WITH REV. WOODROW ADCOCK…REMEMBER? THESE YEARS HAVE PASSED VERY FAST, AND YET WE ALL HAVE MOVED ON. I’LL REMEMBER YOUR FAMILY, JERRY AND DALE. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, 91 YEARS IS QUITE A TRIBUTE TO A WONDERFUL WOMAN.

  4. To Jerry and Dale,
    My deepest sympathies are extended to you and your families. Mrs. Goodner was such a nice and lady and she worked with my Mother. I found it very interesting that when I called her looking for Jerry, that she remembered me, and Jerry, you didn’t remember me, and that was funny. You both had such a nice mother and I know that you will miss her. Sandra Palmitier Waters, PHS Class of 1959, Pampa, Texas
