Aunt Loma was a beautiful lady, inside and out. She was always the first one to help others and a great organizer. She was my second mother and I will truly miss her. I will always love her.

I never really knew Loma, but I grew up across the street from Lethal; went to Whitharral school together & were close friends, he was a fine man, so I know Loma had to be a very special lady! I knew her Sister, Reba Clark, from living here in Littlefield for over 50yrs. a sweet lady. You all are in our thoughts & Prayers. May you find comfort & peace knowing she's with Lethal in Heaven.
