Our hearts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. My mother, Mildred House, Leness's oldest, always talked fondly of her House relatives from Low Gap and Ponca. We spent many a night on the front porch while she entertained with the stories of her House family and growing up on the mountain. I am sad to hear of the passing of her cousin. May God give you comfort in knowing that your investment in heaven has grown. God bless and keep you.

Christine, and all the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Argie will be truly missed. I have fond memories of the old Wagon Wheel days... thank-you both for looking out for us "kids". Also fond memories of fishing on the lake with Bob and Argie. May peace be with you, Sincerely, Chris W.

I love you Christine! it's hard to just say Christine, it's always been one word, "Argieandchristine." I am proud of you for being so strong these last months. It was comforting to see you both together in January. Being married 67 years makes us all envy such love. I keep hearing Bobby sing, "Everything will be alright" and he's exactly right, everything really is okay. Argie is finally with Bobby and the rest of his family, including my dad, Tommy. My dad loved Bobby like a son. The childhood memories of us growing up together keeps me smiling. I will be with you in my heart tomorrow Christine. I love you all. Sharon

Aunt Christine,
I am so sorry about Uncle Argie's passing. He was a great man and one of the finest people I have ever known. You and Uncle Argie any my beloved cousin, Bobby, gave me such wonderful childhood memories. I will pray for comfort and healing for you. I know Argie is reuniting with Bobby in Heaven and catching up on the years...I know he and Dad will have some stories to tell and laughs to share. We can all look forward to our Heavenly Father bringing us home and we can be reunited in our eternal home with those we love that have gone before us. I love you, Aunt Christine, and I pray for comfort and for your memories to help you smile, laugh and remember the good times. I am here for you if you need anything. In Christ's love, Vicki Petree Stuart
