Thefts Reported in Muldoon

There are thieves among us. A hay ring was stolen out of a pasture off a county road. Hay rings have become expensive and are essential when putting out hay during these drought times. Please be aware of odd/ strange/out of place vehicles and people in the area. If you see something, call that neighbor and put out the neighborhood alarm. It is better to be forewarned than surprised by something bad happening. If that person has permission, then all is good, but if not you may have prevented something bad happening. Always take note of the details of the vehicle and the person or people involved. These can help in identifying those involved later. We all have to pull together as neighbors and keep the area safe. Big thanks go out to the Sherriff’s department for always responding out to check on things in the area.

Celebration of Life Ron and Pam Knotts recently spent a long weekend in Houston to participate in a Celebration of Life for Ron’s mom, Bettye Knotts. Bettye passed away back in June at the age of 94 after a brief bout with cancer.

The weekend started with a day with Ron’s sister, Terry Fuselier, going through old family pictures and picking out a few personal items. Then on Saturday the service was a joyful celebration of life well lived.

There were many familiar hymns sung and Bible verses read. Personal remembrances were delivered by family members with lots of funny stories and only a few tears. Ron sang three special songs, including “The Gambler”, one of Bettye’s favorite Kenny Rogers songs.

After a simple reception at the chapel, Ron and Pam joined a host of family members at Escalante’s to enjoy Mexican food in Bettye’s memory. The whole weekend was a perfect tribute to a wonderful woman who loved life and her family and will be remembered always with smiles.
