By Jan Vaughn, Tira News Correspondent

We want to express our sympathy to the family of Billy Crowson. He passed away on Sunday, June 20, with the funeral being held at the First United Methodist Church in Sulphur Springs on Friday, June 24, at 9 a.m., under the direction of Murray-Orwosky Funeral Home, and burial in the Tira Cemetery. Please be in prayer for his wife, Nell, and all of his family.

Billy Moss reported that his new granddaughter, Caroline, is “doing great.” He said her siblings, Celia – 3 years old and Matt – 8 years old, are good helpers with caring for her. He shared that his mother, Mamie Jo, is ready for a trip to visit them and enjoy the cooler weather in St. Louis, which they plan to do soon.

Joyce and William Dodd celebrated Father’s Day at their house with a delicious brisket, smoked by their son Brad. Those joining Joyce and William were Brad, Tanya, and Matthew Dodd, and Jerry and Tonja Lucas. Joyce reported that later in the day William got “Happy Father’s Day calls” from their son, Michael, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and Joyce’s sister, Mary Helen Moss. Also, Rob Dodd visited them when he got off work. Joyce commented, “We enjoyed the freedom to be together to enjoy the special day.”

Yvonne Weir has been vacationing in Belize with her daughter, Destri, and her family. She commented, “I love it here!”
