Saddened to hear of Ms Daisy’s passing. A warm memory we treasure is enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner with her & TerrI at Shady Oaks recalling family gatherings and their cattle farming years.

I just learned of Aunt Daisy passing. I will never forget all the great times that I had with both of them as I grew up, camping, farming, riding horses and herding the cattle.. They both always gave me the best advice that I could ever hear. Never give up ! Terry and Family and Donna and Family you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Till we all meet again. Love you all. Randy and Kim.
