Mrs. Temple was a client and friend of my mother when I was young. She gave me my first real job when I was about 14 picking me up on Saturday mornings and taking me to their home. She taught me the art of cleaning windows properly, along with other Saturday projects which left me tired and content with myself.
I had some fabulous meals there with her and George, both always treating me with such respect and generousity.
I think about them often and the fact that they taught me so much. George took me under his wing as a young man and taught me to work, and paid me many times for just hanging out with him doing something adventurous.
I am sorry to hear about Mrs. Temple's passing, but am a better person for what she invested in my life. She made a positive difference in this world with her life. What a Godly, Gracious, Southern Lady I will always remember.
May the peace of our Lord comfort your family at this time. God Bless, Timothy (Timmy) Runion, and the family of Judy Riley Sink.
