Nebraska Huskers welcome Saint Jo volleyball fan to SMU court

Published

on

Connections between Saint Jo and Southern Methodist University alumni helped get Hannah Reyling a visit with not only SMU’s volleyball ladies, but members of the No. 2 ranked University of Nebraska team as the two played each other in Dallas on Sept 2.
The 22-year-old Reyling is the daughter of Paulette and Chris Reyling. A Saint Jo graduate and volleyball athlete, she has been recovering from bacterial meningococcal meningitis she contracted in late February and which put her in a coma for 12 days and led to her having several of her limbs amputated.
While this illness has been life-altering, the chance to see some of the tops in college volleyball was too good to pass up. Her family reached out to SMU alumni friends to tap into their connections at SMU.

Funeral directors journals provide unique ‘day in the life’ perspective on community

Published

Kimberly Morris, longtime funeral director in Nocona, has compiled a two-volume set of not only death records, but personal notes from the original funeral home owner covering some 25 years.
She calls it an introduction to the life of the W.L. Scott II who started Scott Funeral Home, the person who tried to make one of the hardest days in life as easy as possible.
Morris sees it as something that not only shows a day in the life, but a historic collection of resident’s deaths, that can be an interesting read as well as a genealogy resource.
The result is “the unpublished” – Volume 1: 1960-1979 and Volume 2: 1980-1985. It is centered around the funeral home intake form where the director made plans for the family, but on the back Scott kept a journal of the activities surrounding this service from start to finish often beginning with picking up a body.
Morris explains it was a different era where there was not a “funeral home” persé as everyone was embalmed at home.
