Carolyn and I had been friends and neighbors as children growing up.
We would Ice skate on the county ditch. And ride bicycles in the neighborhood. Enjoyed the evenings our parents would get together to play cards. We and Arlene and Gary would play kick the can outside. Enjoy your heavenly home til the rest of us join you. God’s love to your family. And my condolences.
