I'll always remember your vacations to Oklahoma and playing with you, Ray Bill, Jackie, Randa, Linda, Danny, David, Lois, Pat, Larry, Mary, Carl, Carol and me. We were a wild bunch of kids! Waded in the creek, walked the pipelines, enjoyed picnics in the park near the pond, played "keep away" with the basketball. Usually, Uncle Jack and Aunt Marie played with us and they always won. The remaining of our generation: Me, Linda, Larry and Mary loved you. Wish you could have visited me and Paul one more time. See you in Glory! --- Donna
