Madeline's husband, Orlando, was in WWII with my father. After the war (when I was about 8 years old) the Lewis family came down for a visit with our family. Being from Tennessee, I thought those people really talked funny. Over the years, with many, many visits back and forth, this wonderful family “merged” with ours. Our friendship has lasted over 67 years. The laughter, love, exchange of war stories, celebrating the birth of new generations and reaching across the miles to hug and enjoy our families has been such a blessing.
What a wonderful time of the year to go “Home” Madeline! Easter! We will miss you so very much; but you have left behind a wonderful legacy and many precious memories. Love you and yours!
The Camp Family from Tennessee
