Growing up, I always looked forward to visits from the Goodings. Even as a child, I knew they were special, wonderful, loving people. I was so happy to reconnect with Mary Lou 6 years ago and introduce her to my wife. Seeing Mary Lou and my cousins again after so many years apart is a treasured memory. Mary Lou and Jim taught me so many life lessons even from 1000 miles away. I know you are in the Lord's company and with Jim, your sister, your brothers, mother, and father. I will miss you but rejoice and take comfort that we will visit again.
