Linda, I have great memories of you and Richard with the many hours I spent at your
Mother and Dad's house. His sense of humor was fantastic. I remember Wanda and I
babysitting Amber and Amy for you and Richard to go out, and then I taught them at LaVergne High School as well. May God give you and the whole family comfort and
at this difficult time.
