The Mountside St. men are definitely playing cards! My memories are special of Mr. Allen. Always kind, funny, impeccably dressed, and handsome. We watched the southern storms from our garages or porches and I remember the countless times I´d hear him laughing in our kitchen while they played cards! His girls were his loves . Thinking of you all during this hard time. Love and prayers to you all.
