Vivian and family, so sorry for your loss. We all grew up together and I will always remember the cookouts your dad and mom would have in the summertime. Jimmy let me use his Impala to take my drivers test (the first time) took one more try but gosh we had some great times! Long ago memories to treasure. Prayers for comfort coming your way.
