My fondest memories are when she and my Uncle Lawrence would come by our house on Sundays. Jean was always so funny. One Sunday in particular when they went fishing at Lake Gaston and she fell off the sloped bank and rolled into the lake. She was a dirty mess and my daddy laughed at her to no end. She laughed right along with him. And her chocolate pies were to die for!
