Sabrina, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. We lost mother 2 years ago, and it is so sad. We had her for a lot of years but not enough. I am now living in Punta Gorda, Fla Norma Sue Spears Scott

We are very sad to read about Joyce. She and Ted were our first neighbors on Eglin in 1958. I tried to call this week to let her know we are coming to town for a convention. Love to Sabrina...our own little blond girl. Aunt Barby, Uncle John and Tom Ramsey from Amelia Island, Florida
