Good morning Mommy & Daddy. Thought of both or you all day yesterday & how Mom would cook and make her lemon pies for you & John. Both of you were most happiest when the kids & grand kids & great grand kids were all under one roof to celebrate. Yesterday was the first time in 50 years John & I celebrated Thanksgiving alone. We missed being with family both the Kelley's & Sweet's. Love you both and until we meet again at Heavens Gate.

Ahh, Mr Sweet your name truly fits you! Another kind soul leaving the old neighborhood. You will be missed. Please tell your wife hello when you see her, tell her it's from the redheaded pest that use to come over all the time as a young child. God Bless you and your family.
