Joyce and James, I've known you and your parents all my life! Mrs. Eley is my second mother. She was always so pleasant, welcoming, and could cook like crazy. Some of my happiest moments were the times we all (no matter the number) crowded around the dining room table for meals. We were crowded, but we didn't know it.
