Think of you often. Especially the times we would go for a ride. Also the times we would be sitting on the front porch with Uncle Ray,Aunt Hazel, and everybody else that would happen to be there. Miss you all.

Uncle Sid was such a great person. I remember visiting him in Virginia and taking me for rides on the mountains. He was quite but, always made me feel cared about.
