Sharon and Ronnie,
Sister Cubie was a wonderful friend to me for many years. She and Mom were very close and she took me under her wing when I became active in Star again. Without her help I would have never made it so far. I loved her and I know that she, W.A., Mom and Dad are having a good time today!!! Carolyn Cato Smith
