Our sympathies to all. I have some wonderful videos and memories that I've shared in the past from 1955 at a Caddo Lake summer Anderson reunion. Aunt Nell was a beautiful young woman with a bunch of wonderful children. We all fished and ate then fished and ate some more. I was 6 so don't remember those details, but the videos bear the facts. Attached is 1 frame from Brownie Super 8mm
I hope to be there Thursday and share some together

Surely, Mrs.Anderson was a saint. My mother died Jan. 4, 2012 and I'm sure that she was waiting to welcome your mother in heaven. Your whole family has meant a lot and I will be in prayer that you will be comforted as you go through this sorrow.
