 A very special thing about folks in West Texas is their friendly, courteous way. With the increase of families moving into the Permian Basin, it appears that everyone is trying to get somewhere fast. Accidents and even fatalities are up by an alarming rate. If we're all in such a hurry to the point it results in an injury or someone's death, well, I think it's time to slow down. Take your time and enjoy one thing we're known for, being courteous to one another. This is Bill Valley of Sunset Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home, and we're proud to be a part of the Odessa community.
