  1. Earlene was a beautiful soul and always had time to listen. She enjoyed (as did Pops) the food I would prepare for them. It was a joy to just sit in the TV room with them both and feel the peace and love they gave. Love u, Charlene

  2. I was very honored for Earlene to have been a member of my Company. She was loved and respected by everyone. Donna Beard

    • Thank you Donna for sharing this message. Mom was proud to be part of your team and my brother and I were thrilled that Tallgrass Club was your choice lunch location. Serving you all is a great memory for me. – John

  3. Although neither my parents, Don and Suzie Nelson,nor myself had seen either Earlene or Dick in some time, mainly because we had moved to Kansas City, Mo. they were always in our thought for the great times we had had together both in Plainview and Wichita. I’m quite sure that Earlene had changed my diapers on more than one occasion. She was a blessing in deed! Here mom and dad, dad mostly, were closer to me than my own grandparents! I always enjoyed spending time with them. And I did with Mrs. Moore the summer after Mr. Moore passed away.
