Letter To The Editor
Attached is obituary information
that I would appreciate your putting
in your paper for my De Leon
schoolmates to read. I still refer to
Texas as “my home”. My cousin,
Bonnie Moore Singleton, is a
resident of De Leon.
Recently a California friend
vacationed in Texas and brought
back a bag of Comanche County
pecans to share with the Stalling
family. Of course, they are the very
best. I guess I will have to appear in
person to enjoy some home grown
peaches, peanuts and watermelons.
And I shall return when I
accompany my husband’s ashes this
summer or early fall.
Thank you for this courtesy.
Sincerely,
/s/ Norma Stalling
