I grew up with the whole family. Many good memories at the old home. The whole family was my second family. When you move away you lose time and valued friends. My heart and love goes to each one of you. Espeacially Virginia and Michelle. I loved both of you like sisters and Kay was my second mom. Steve looked out after me as one of his own as well. I am so sorry I can't be there. I am just a phone call away. Sorry for the lost in your lives.
