I used to live in Kilgore

I used to live in Kilgore about 25 years ago and my father, Ron Mayberry, used to coach at Kilgore College. It has been a very long time, but I went to school with Jennifer Russell and I have always thought she was a wonderful person. Now she has an absolutely incredible child, Brannon, and I am absolutely amazed at what this child has accomplished. She is a gift from God and we should all look up to her for what she has done to help fight cancer. I am so proud of her and I would like to tell her that I wish her all the best with every dream she has and I have no doubt that she will accomplish them as well. I would also like to tell Jennifer that I am so proud of her as well for raising such an amazing daughter and that I wish her and the rest of her family all the best. Marcy Mayberry
