"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arm around you and whispered "Come with me". We watched you suffer and saw you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same since you've gone away; When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on". Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again some day".

In time they would move to Wilson, Oklahoma to do the same there and then move to Ardmore, Oklahoma during retirement years.

| 2735 | Obituary: NEW ORLEANS - Jane E. Prudhomme, a University of New Orleans administrator who was instrumental in helping the lakefront school become one of the nation's top 200 universities in terms of research dollars, died Monday, Aug. 11, 2003, of cancer at her home in Slidell. She was 53. As assistant vice chancellor for research and sponsored programs, Ms. Prudhomme worked with faculty members in identifying grant opportunities and submitting applications. Her success made her office one of the most important players in UNO's drive to become a nationally recognized research university, colleagues said. Besides trying to match professor's research interests with potential grant-making organizations, Ms. Prudhomme coached new faculty members through the application process, giving them tips and skills that would help them find underwriting for future research. "Her excitement about the prospect of getting research funding sometimes initially surpassed the faculty member's," one UNO professor said. "She would encourage them to believe that the funding was possible, and in turn they would work up to their best level and get the grant." Born in Lafayette, Ms. Prudhomme graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana and earned Master's degrees from UNO and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She joined the UNO staff in 1986 as assistant director of the university's Downtown Center. She moved to the main campus in 1994 as director of research and sponsored programs. She was named a vice chancellor in 1999. Ms. Prudhomme also championed the Jazz Journey program, a joint effort of her office and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation that brought campus and community audiences together to hear jazz performers such as Ahmad Jamal and Shirley Horne. Survivors include two brothers, William J. Prudhomme, of Mandeville, and Robert W. Prudhomme, of Dade City, Fla. A memorial service will be held Monday at 4 p.m. at the UNO Newman Center on Alumni Drive, across from the University Center.

| 2743 | The Building of Sam Houston State University Ronald P. Mafrige was a 1960 graduate of Sam Houston State Teachers College with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Mafrige served in the U.S. Army, remaining in the Army Reserves for 14 years and achieving the rank of Major before retiring. In 1968, he formed what would become Ron Mafrige Enterprises, Inc., which has leased over one million commercial square feet of office space in and around Houston. He was honored by his alma mater as a Distinguished Alumnus (1997), Service Award recipient (2004), and named to the College of Business Administration Hall of Honor (2006). In 1997, the Smith-Hutson Business Administration Building auditorium was named in honor of Ron and Linda in recognition of his 1994 endowment honoring Glenn Adams, the late president of Ron Mafrige Enterprises. In 2005, Mafrige gave $250,000 to make possible construction of the 11,000 square foot Randleman Strength and Fitness Building. The following year, the field house adjacent to Bowers Stadium was named in his honor. A member of the Esquire social group - and successor group, the Epsilon Zeta chapter of Delta Tau Delta fraternity - in the 1990s Mafrige paid off the debt on the fraternity's second house so that the group could sell it and purchase property closer to SHSU. In addition to purchasing many of the granite benches seen across campus, in 2008, Mafrige donated $40,000 to build the 20-foot-tall statute of General Sam Houston that stands in central campus. It honors both M.B. Etheredge (the country's highest decorated surviving soldier of World War II) and the statue's sculptor, David Adickes. Mafrige led SHSU's first capital campaign and its Executive Leadership Council. The fundraising effort generated commitments in excess of $61 million, surpassing the $50 Million goal and was achieved nearly a year ahead of schedule. During the February 12, 2011 men's basketball game a plaque with Mafridge's likeness was unveiled to honor the 112 donors that contributed to the Mafrige Basketball Challenge; the plaque is on display in the concourse level of Johnson Coliseum.
