Reggie, Robbie and all other family members, I was too little to know your Mom, but She and my mother (Agnes Hill) were friends in West Laramie back in the 60s and on.. I know you guys, as you are friends of my older brothers and sisters, (Bruce, Pam, Candy, Lorilyn Judy, Carole and Peanut) Its Hard to lose a Mom, I know. God Bless your hearts and you will be in my prayers. Sincerely, Nadine Hill.

Sincere condolences to the Mauk family…
Although I was only a child at the time, I remember well when Harold and Virgie May (Mr. and Mrs. Mauk to me) moved the old log cabin next door to my parents and over the years built not only a durable home but also a family. My folks deeply appreciated them for years as neighbors in West Laramie.
