Yesterday

Neighbors (36 years) in Brookhaven.....Lots of memories of Melanie growing up with our 2 sons.... We had 2 baseball players and Jerry had his majorette/ beauty queen! Jerry was concerned that a baseball would take out his picture window one day as the yard between our homes was a ball field for the neighborhood baseball games! We never told Jerry that Melanie (introducing us to her new tap shoes) had chipped out a memory on our freshly poured concrete pad!
Melanie, we love you! Bonita & Clarence Coffey
