Gosh, the memories ... You are a couple years older than me. Although I'll be turning the big 70 at the end of the year.
We used to spray Sun In in our hair and lay out in the yard to turn our white skin golden.
We talked about boys and school and sports. You got to Marion High before me. You tried out for Cheerleading. I used to practice with you. Although I still was in Junior High, I always thought what you were doing in school was so cool. In Junior High I was on the basketball team. Lots of fun. But I dreamed of cheerleading.
Our moms used to swap recipes and make cherry pies from the cherry trees we shared in our yards.
Eventually you and your family moved down the hill. Your dad had the most amazing Garden. Our dads shared their bounties with each of our families. Your dad loved his garden, just like my dad did. They shared their growing secrets.
I miss you Lady.

Sheila, you are in my heart today and I did some searching and found this. I am so very sorry to read that you are now gone from this world but still taking care of others in a deeper way. We were neighbors and friends for the longest time on D and 1st Street in Marion. So very long ago. I pray you are at Peace. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I think of you often my dear friend.
