I am sad to say we lost another classmate. Donna Carroll Smith passed away 1/10/25. I have tried to post her memorial and FB is not letting me. You can find her info at memorialdesigners.net/Congratulations.obituary/donna-smith/. May she rest in peace! Prayers for her family!

Coach Monte Blake Moore On Sunday evening, Monte Blake “Coach Moore”, was in the midst of doing the thing he loved…leading worship in song at the Brownfield Church of Christ, when he collapsed from a viral infection that affected the lining around his heart. Monte passed from this earthly life on Monday, March 6, 201...

Another dark day for us……we have lost our fellow Plainsmen, Bobby Pipkin. Apparently, he had been ill for awhile and finally succumbed to his illness.
Hold your people tight!

Does anyone have any information on Jeff Delisle?

Hello friends. Sadly, a fellow Plainsman, Vicki Warren (Wright) has recently passed away. Her daughter has reached out to us wanting to share this and let us know how much Vicki loved her friends at MHS. She was actually in the class of 1974, but some of you may have been friends. They asked that this be shared with our class, and her class, too. If anyone knows of a fb group for the class of ‘74, would you kindly pass this news along to them. Many thanks…. And blessings to all of you.

Does anyone have any information on Celia Blackledge?

Just checking in on everyone. Any news good or bad that we need to post? Hope you are all well and happy. Spring is on the way!

I just saw this and I do not have any additional information. But to lose another one is just heartbreaking, please send me any additional info if you find it. Thank you!
