As families we shared all those glorious years together at Whitewater! Tom and his skipping speed boat! Tom always was a gentle giant and pillar for the McMahon family! To many things to say so I close with God Bless you! See you in heaven, and thank you so much for all the fun, family memories of Whitewater and thanksgiving dinners together as families! Love you and miss you! If I close my eyes and listen I can still hear all the familiar voices of family, laughter and of course that spring loaded porch door at Whitewater slamming shut as we all run in and out to various activities - horseshoes, baseball, swimming, walking to town through the cow pasture! Those were the days! Love and remembrance to all! Warren Welbourn JR
