Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I have so many wonderful memories of your mom and dad growing up in Cherokee Park! Loved Hazel's Cafe, but I remember Monty's down the street as well. Our parents are having a reunion in Heaven, it's a sweeter place today. Loved your mom.

Larry, we were classmates at Cherokee Park Elementary many moons ago. I remember your sweet mom so well as my dad always took me to Hazel's cafe to eat breakfast during the summer months. I am so sorry for your loss, may God wrap his loving arms around you and give you comfort.
