Dear McBride family, I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Mavis. My heart hurts. When I was a young girl I thought Mavis, Mac, Wright and Melinda were part of our immediate family. Mavis was beautiful, kind and fun. She was like a second Mom to the Teinert kids. She will be be missed, but she has left a legacy of love and a wonderful life. My condolences to all of you.

I am sorry to hear about Mrs. Tarbell's passing. She was a very kind person. I used to babysit for her family when I was a teenager in Lake Jackson.
May her loved ones remember all of the good times they had together. Rest In Peace.
