Laurie and Chip, we are so honored to be the first to share a memory. Girls or boys in the third seat, you choose each way said your mom or dad on those glorious Sabbath afternoons when we were invited to pile in to the back of the old woody station wagon and go for a ride, listening to country performers singing hyms. The windows down, the air flowing in, the singing, and the general goofing off of 4 pre teens, being guided by a set of parents who loved them all the same. We give Thanks to God for their presence in our lives, and we Thank you both for sharing them with us. Be Happy, Be Strong, Be loving, Be True, We'll meet you in Heaven and live next door to You. Always With Love, Rochelle & John
