What a loss! Midge Duhon was such a classy lady. I met Midge through her daughter, Diane, while I was teaching school in Colmesneil. Since I left, I have seen Midge in town at restaurants and at OLOP in Woodville when she would come to funerals there, or attend an event we were sponsoring. Always, Midge would recognize and come give me a hug. I loved seeing her. I took several photos of Midge and sent them to her. I hope they are still around. She seemed to enjoy that. Diane, I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray you are doing well, and may God be with you as you say good-bye to your dear mother. Billie Matthews

We "clicked" from the moment we first met. Your love of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's message and works was wonderful to share, as he has been such an inspiration in my life as well. Always ready for fun and/or a good laugh was obvious from that sweet smile and sparkle in your eye. You will be cherished and remembered by us forever. Enjoy your incredible new spirit and home. You were such a blessing to so very many. :sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart:

I first met Midge Duhon back in 1986 through her daughter Dianne. My name is Rhonda Bigby and I was a kindergarten teacher at the time at Colmesneil Elementary. Midge was so full of life and so much fun to be around. She had a love for animals and they knew they were safe with her. The past few years of her life, I was privileged to be her "driver". We went to singings, church meetings, and sometimes just sat on her couch watching birds. I miss her so much already, just talking to her on the phone, but I know she is without a doubt in heaven and in charge of the animal section up there. I love you Midge and cherish the memories you gave to me while on this earth.
