Wonderful memories of Aunt Wanda and Uncle Sonny Boy when we would stop in Amarillo on our way from SD to Houston. She was always gracious & sweet even after Uncle Sonny Boy passed. I thought she was classy and remember her leaving for or coming home from work dressed so pretty. Enjoyed seeing her and Ed at the Cordova Reunions. Both were so kind and will be missed. Till we all are reunited one way or another, may the Lord comfort and keep you allour Amarillo cousins.
Love & Blessings,
Tonya L. Castleman, Ken & Ryan
