Very glad my life crossed paths with Mrs Ford. Many happy fond memories. . Hours spent creating beautiful ballet costumes and traveling to Houston to see the Houston Ballet . The friendship she and Watt had with my parents was so special. May the peace of Christ be with her and her family at this difficult time. Love to all the Ford’s ?

Patricia, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. The few times I was blessed to be around her she was always so kind, sweet, smiling and happy. Your mother was so creative, talented and always ready to lend a helping hand. I am so thankful that she and my mother ( Karen Tucker) met in Spindletop Stitchers and became friends. Please know she will be thought of often. God Bless you and your family.

Mrs. Ford was such a lovely lady. I first met her when I was a young girl and a student at The Sproule School of Dance. Our paths continued to intertwine through my college years and into my adulthood. She helped me so much when I had my own dance school. She was so talented with costuming. Prayers for Catharine, Ann, and the rest of Mrs. Ford’s family and loved ones.
