Dear Hough Family,
Heaven gained a precious one. I pray that all of you feel the loving arms of our Lord holding you close and giving you the comfort and peace that only He can give.
I am so saddened to hear about Mr. Hough’s passing. Know Mrs. June that you are in my prayers as I pray God wraps his loving arms around you to help you through this time.
I cannot remember: first grade?, the second? when I first met Billy Mach. But I do remember how much I want that boy to be my friend. I wrote a note to “Mrs. Puff” asking if Billy Mach could spent the night with me. Our mothers conferred and I went to his house for our first sleep over. Such a nice family. I remember his grandmother (she liked to listen to the radio program Inner Sanctum), Mr. and Mrs. Hough, sister Ruth and Billy Mach. He was my first close friend and I treasure him to this day. I admired him for his industrious nature – he always had a job – and his determination when he set a goal . He met June. She was the one. And they made it happen. Even with marrying early he still got degrees and made his life happen. I feel so sad that he has gone but he has returned home. I am proud to have had him as a friend.
June
I was so sorry to hear about Billy Mack. I always considered him a dear friend. When I would make occasional trips to Whitesboro I would always try to stop by and say hi at the shop. I am truly sorry for your loss. He was one of the good guys.He will be missed here but he will get to spend Christmas with Jesus.
