I live in Mangum OK which is the area that our family was establishe in. I do not want to be bothersome at all, however, if you would will you please also send me copies of the cards you found. I would just really appreciate it so very much. Thank you all for appreciating my MEEMAW and showing her so much love! She was a beautiful and wonderful woman and her spirit was one of those rare finds. I try to be like her and my maternal grandmother. They are both gone now but they live on in my heart and soul. Thank you again and God bless you!Always Laura Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109035745208946082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-17697296857801715612016-06-18T22:23:48.673-05:002016-06-18T22:23:48.673-05:00Hello, Dixie ~~ I have read your blog entries from...Hello, Dixie ~~ I have read your blog entries from 2009 and 2013 with great interest. I found them when I was searching for Lahoma Herron's obituary. My Daddy was friends with Lahoma Herron since childhood. He was also born and grew up in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma. Every year, he and my Mother would receive one of Lahoma's painted Christmas cards. My Mother passed away in December 2000. Come Spring 2001, Daddy received an invitation to Lahoma's 80th birthday party in Paris --- Texas. I was honored to accompany him, so I got to meet sweet Lahoma myself after hearing so many wonderful things about her for years and years. Then Daddy passed away in March 2004. I always meant to write Lahoma and let her know, but somehow never got around to it. She perhaps found out about it when her Christmas card for 2004 was returned. I felt a little pang when I read about that in your blog. <br /><br />I was recently going through some old papers and scrapbooks of Daddy's, and out fell several of those old hand-painted Christmas cards from Lahoma. Daddy proudly kept them all those years. I am so honored to now be the keeper of the local Lahoma Herron art collection. I will soon scan them and send you copies of them if you would like to post them on your blog - updating the Lahoma Herron story once again! <br /><br />Hope you are having a great Summer so far in French Lique -- Texas. <br /><br />Best regards -- Jonna Osborne - Irving, TX (You are also welcome to visit my FB page and leave me a private message if you would like me to send you pictures of Lahoma's paintings, or I can mail copies to you the old-timey way. *s*) Thanks again! fixin2quilt@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604521854377385602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-80398513966455109372015-11-22T13:10:21.020-06:002015-11-22T13:10:21.020-06:00Dixie, my niece just posted this on Facebook and I...Dixie, my niece just posted this on Facebook and I just want to thank you for such a beautiful tribute to my grandmother!

I can understand how she felt about not wanting to go to funerals. My mom(89) and her cousin (same age) comment that they are just about the only ones left among their friends. Thank you for sharing this, it made my day.

It would have been a privilege to know Lahoma. And I can't even begin to imagine painting 300 Christmas cards. I'm sure you did make her very happy, not just with knowing that you'll treasure her painting but knowing that you were interested in her very interesting life.<br /><br />What stories there would be if everyone was a curious as you!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.com
