We were childhood playmates, Ollie Ollie Olson, kick the can, biking all over, cleaning the kennels, going to Kemps for candy, secret keepers (I´ll never tell), and most of all special friends. Although we didn´t keep in touch it doesn´t mean I didn´t think about our wonderful childhood times. You will always be in my heart. R.I.P. dear DJ.
Your friend forever, Nancy Morrow Dahlman.
