my sympathy to the family and her friends for a life taken too soon. i passed the funeral home last night on the way to a williamson county genealogy society committee meeting. the parking lot at the funeral home was so full and so many young people were there for the visitation that they were waiting in line to go in. it made me realize what a loss they have suffered at what should be such a happy time - the beginning of the summer and end of school. please let us know if there is anything we can do, the kids from the school have been so good to us helping with the transcriptions! > -----Original Message----- > From: Rebecca Osborne [SMTP:rebecca@osborne.org] > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 6:43 PM > To: TXWILLIA-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [TXWILLIA] Volunteers and McNeil High School news > > I hope to be able to respond more fully next week to the people who have > expressed an interest in helping with the data entry for the web page. > > Because many of you do not live in this area, you are likely unaware of > what > has happened this week at McNeil High School.
