ARCHIVES This is where I save things from the past July 24, 1922 to October 24, 2007 Henrietta "Hank" Lamae Butterworth White passed away in Bandera, TX and was buried on October 30, 2007 in San Antonio, TX at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with her husband who died in 1976. Mrs. White moved to Bandera about 1983. She was a singer with local bands there and active in her church. Mrs. White learned she had cancer on Aug. 24, 2007. The cancer took her life very quickly. She lived a full life. She joins her husband James Thomas White and a daughter Sally Elaine White in heaven along with our Lord. She leaves behind two sons, James Michael White and Thomas Clay White and a daughter Eva Jo Jennings. Her long time friend and companion, James "Jim" McClellan cared for her the last few months of her life, never leaving her side. Mrs. White was my sister Jenelle's mother-n-law for over 40 years August 10, 2007 My son-n-law was involved in a roll over accident in Baytown, TX. An elderly woman in an SUV was speeding, ran a red light and hit his Dodge Ram 2500 in the passenger side. His truck flew through the air, landed upside down skidding into a light pole, knocking it down. He crawled out a window and other than suffering from shock, was able to walk away with minor scrapes and bruising. Miraculously the elderly lady walked away as well. He purchased this truck about a month ago.

I am providing this space for my friend Amanda Cole May. Here is the story: Hi, I am writing everyone to let you know something that is dear to me... I have been following the harbor development in Aransas Pass at Conn Brown Harbor (Texas). They (the development co) that is developing it is going to tear down the Memorial Tower that has my Dad and others name on it. (those of you who are not familiar with the tower its called "The Seamans Memorial", it has the names of men who died at sea on it. There are a lot of Good People who are writing in to protest the whole harbor project. Please go to http://www.aransaspassprogress.com and get information on it. The letters to the editors is a great place to get the scoop. ANYWAY I was thinking.... (bIt ad huh) if we could some how organize a protest about the whole matter. I have never done anything in my whole life like this before. But nothing has hit me this hard. Conn Brown Harbor is my roots, that is what I am about, its where I am from and what I hold dear. The harbor does need to be developed... But not just given to some developer that is going to take what they want and tear down the rest. There is a lot of money to be made by developing the harbor. But the City of Aransas Pass deserves to make the money and put it in to the great place I call home. I would like to somehow organize a protest... I call it "Hands Around The Harbor". we can all meet at the harbor (I am checking into permits, media etc.) hold hands and let those people (developers) know that there are People who cares about Conn Brown Harbor and Aransas Pass. I really believe if enough people hear about this there will be no problem making it around the harbor. My Family and I are talking about going where my Daddy's boat was always parked to hold hands, wearing matching t-shirts to show who we are and who we represent. With in memory of Ed Cole on the backs. Maxine Be proud of our heritage

This scholarship fund is being set up for David’s grandchildren. You may send your donation to Mainland Bank, P.O. Box 3057, Texas City, TX 77592. Donations should be designated for Acct. 6332050 and ABA# 113102073 Donald "Duke" Smith Duke is someone I used to work with at Orion Construction and I just learned today (May 17, 2006) that he had a heart attack and survived surgery. His health is in bad shape. During surgery it was discovered he had an aneurysm of the Aorta. It has also been determined he had a major stroke on the right side of his brain and several small strokes on the left side of his brain. Duke is on life support and I am awaiting more information about his condition. Duke has a great sense of humor and I ask that we all pray for his health and well being. I really enjoyed working with him. UPDATE: Duke passed away on May 24, 2006, His funeral will be on Sat. May 27. Please join me in prayer for his family. Duke was in his early to mid 40's. Preston "DeeDee" Boston I worked with Preston a few years ago at Orion Construction. He was my boss and is a friend. He is the Safety Manager for Orion. He has been with the company for a very long time. On Sun. Oct. 15, he suffered a stroke. He is currently hospitalized at Herman Hosp. in Houston, TX. He has had several more strokes while in the hospital and is not expected to live. Preston is 51. I enjoyed very much working under his supervision and I can truly consider him a friend. He has a great sense of humor and pleasant to know. He really cared about me as I care about him. The last time I saw him was at the funeral of David Barnes, who also worked for Orion Construction. We hugged as friends would do. I did not see him inside the funeral chapel but he made sure to come find me in the parking lot before we all joined the procession to the cemetery where David Barnes would rest in peace. I have prayed for Preston's recovery and his family and I am very upset about his condition. God apparently has greater plans for Preston. I will post more about Preston when I know more. 10-17-06 On 10-18-06, DeeDee passed away at Hermann Hospital, Houston, Texas. His funeral is at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Dayton, Texas. See photo and funeral program below. I went to the church for visitation and met DeeDee's family. He has 10 grandchildren with one on the way that will not know his/her grandfather. One particular grandson was really upset at the loss of his grandfather. This family has been through so much, just as any family who loses a loved one. He will be missed by so many people.
