Dear Redmons, So sorry to hear about Mr. Redmon...He will truly be missed. The first thing I thought about was when you all came to the funeral home for Dad, he shook my hand and gave me a piece of candy

(something he was known for). Another thing was when Barbara and I stayed at your house when we were fairly young while my mom and dad took my brother to a baseball tournament and him calling my sister "grasshopper". And then, his talks at the congregational meetings...Take care . Am thinking about you all.

To Sherrill: Keith just e-mailed me the news of your father's death and we want you to know we are thinking of you. What a wonderful life your dad lived. I hope to be able to come to the visitation. Although we have been out of touch, I think of you with great affection and warm memories.



Fondly, Meme Sweets Runyon
