The Passing Parade
By Mildred Bowden Jones
& Joyce Hugman
FROM MILDRED: Appreciation to all of you who have manicured your yards
and helped to beautify Gladewater.
My family thought I was a little too hard so I will lighten up. BUT the
coin was on the other side as I have met people in the restaurants, grocery
store, etc., and they say please keep it up—we need it.
I saw a sweet lady out mowing her neighbor’s yard so it would look
as good as hers, which is always beautiful to perfection. Thanks, Ernestine
Wilson Sawyer for such concern.AND I believe that she is close to 90.
Come on Gladewater, cut those curbs and don’t throw your grass on
the street! That is what brooms and plastic bags are made for—please
use them. It is amazing when you drive down some of our streets and they
are so clean and neat—it really makes a difference.
Family Fun Night is set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 30th, at First Baptist
Church, in the Family Life Center. Ages K-5th grade with their families are
invited.
Take me out to the ballgame, Thursday, July 31st, 6:15 p.m., White City
Park.

It’s nice to be missed when I don’t write. I didn’t feel
well last week and I received a beautiful get well card from Helen Pursel
Dunnavant. Thanks, Helen, for your caring wishes and hoping that I feel better.
She is a special friend who I have known for many years.
Our deepest most heartfelt sympathy to the family of Jenelle Carrington,
whose services were held Wednesday, July 23rd, with Dr. Randy Fitzgerald
officiating. She was a retired registered nurse...
