John Edward Croft Jr.

The grief I feel is overwhelming at times. When I check my messages and there is only silence I am reminded that I must be content to hold close the memories of our times together. John Ed'rd you are missed more than you will ever know. When we plant peanuts we will remember you. When we eat a mess of mustard greens served with Backbone and rice we will remember your fondness for this meal. The sweetness of cane syrup will bring back memories of you wanting to make cane syrup once again...
