So sorry to hear about Fannie Sue. Our class was small but we were a close knit group of girls. So many great memories together--slumber parties at the Babcocks; attempted watermelon stealing adventure; our appearance at the Halloween carnival where we won the top prize and no one knew who we were plus the mess we made at the Shepard household getting ready; senior trip! It was great times but, oh so long ago! We can count on Fannie Sue keeping them laughing in Heaven!
