Aunt LaRee was my inspiration and example of lady like deportment, and of the perfect mother. I have fallen short of those lofty goals at times, but have no doubt that my life has been richly blessed in the striving for the perfection that I saw in her. She was a blessing.

I knew and loved both LaRee and L. Z. My mother, Dovie Launius, and LaRee were very good friends as long as she was in Bristow. She was a wonderful Christian lady. May the Lord give you strength and comfort.

Most of my happy childhood memories are revolved around Drumright...118 Cherry St,136 Maple and Uncle Jack's house across the street from Mama's. Aunt LaRee always kept a cook head and was always the kids best friend. We had to be quiet at suppertime so we could listen to "One Man's Family". She tried to teach me to make a pie crust even making the dough up for me to just roll out. I still messed it up. She was kind, gentle, loving and always a lady. I am happy for her to be with Peggy and Uncle LZ, but sad for us who have grown up with such a wonderful example to live by. We love you and miss you.

I'll always remember the house in Bristow and the memories attached to it..... cookouts, family reunions, swimming in the pond (accidental or not), moss fights, fishing and cleaning fish, frogs, snakes, turtles, the Shop, summer job, Days of Our Lives, the rent house, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Christmas, mowing and raking grass on the ENTIRE 5 acres, football games in the front yard, the cellar, the pool table.... and so many more memories there's not enough space here to list them all. We all felt loved, you will be missed...
