Mama, oh sweet Mama, I don’t know where
to begin. It seems like my missing you will
never end. All of your children are doing
very well. June is the only one not with us, I
know that you can tell he departed this life in
the Month of July. We could never ask God
the reason, or even why. Mama I just want
you to know that you hold a special place in
my heart. Along with my grand babies Little
William, Miriah and Maranda. Their little lives they barely did start.
Mama I am trying to apply all that you have taught me in this life but it
is hard trying to be a good mother, much less even a good wife. Mama I
know that you have taught me to live each day as though it were my last,
because this world and everything in it shall to some day pass.

Richard and Elsa Kleiman,

lucky bidders from First

were the
tables deco-
rated by vari-
ous partici-
pating work-
places,
including Amegy Bank,
Barbers Hill ISD, Bayer,
Chevron Phillips, Community
Resource Credit Union, Exxon
Mobil, Lee College and
Zachry. Judged as most cre-
ative was Community
Resource Credit Union, with
Lee College and Zachry
named honorable mention.
Although not a prize winner,
the Barbers Hill ISD table was
particularly appreciated
because it was the work of
essentially one person, Nathan
Neff, a Barbers Hill Middle
School seventh-grader who
spent hours crafting the
numerous examples of origami
artwork displayed on the table.

At 3 p.m., excited shoppers gath-
ered around Fields as she pulled 15
names out of a box.
The 15 winners each won a pair of
tickets to show dates throughout the
rodeo, taking place from March 3 to
March 22.
The crowd transformed into some-
thing of an auction, as many of the
winners swapped tickets before leav-
ing the bull ring.
One man waved his arms with a
grin spread from ear to ear, as he
traded Sugarland tickets for
Duelo/Los Horoscopos De Durango.
Radio station FM 100.3 KILT was
also present for the bull riding com-
petition, and even did a call-in from
atop the bucking bull.
Fields said pictures of riders and
onlookers can be found on the mail’s

music and cheers Sunday as shop-
pers were challenged to ride a
mechanical bull to win tickets for the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and
Tim McGraw are just a few of the
artists on the 2008 rodeo entertain-
ment line-up.
Karissa Fields, Marketing Director

took the challenge hoping to win free
rodeo tickets valued at $16-$77
apiece.
Fifteen pairs of tickets were raffled

as it bucked, kicked and spun them
around the inflatable rodeo ring.
