Your mom and dad were some the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met. I remember the many fish fries, the trips to PCB as youngsters, many fun visits at our respective houses. Not too long ago I was going through my junk drawer and found the French fry cutter that momma always used because Danny was coming for dinner. Think of you guys often and hope all is well. So sorry for your loss. Losing parents is hard, no matter our age. With love and fond memories, Sandra Morris Nixon
