I was so saddened to hear of Linda's passing. Both sets of our parents chose Smith Rd. to raise their children. I loved going down the street, a gravel road at the time, to play. I seem to remember that the Payne yard was the place to be! I now live in Sparta, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I will be lifting up your families in prayer. Blessings, Marsha Black Simon
