As a little girl, I loved telling people my birthdate. So, Jr. ( Andrew) would always ask me; "When your birthday."? I would say, "July 3rd." From then on as we grew up, even as adults, everytime we would see each other , after greeting each other , he would ask me, "When your birthday?" I would say ,"July 3rd." So, at the family reunion in Dickson, TN., (July 2023), we greeted, hugged, and guess what; the first thing he asked me was, "WHEN YOUR BIRTHDAY ?" I said, " July 3rd." This is a question that is engraved in my heart forever that will always be remembered. This is your Cousin Shirley Ann from Pike Road, Alabama. (JULY 3RD)
