Richard and Wayne I was sorry to learn of your Mother's passing in today's N&O. It was an honor to know her and your Dad as well for a number of years back in our old neighborhood. I still think of all of you every time I travel up or down Western Blvd by the old home place. Like when my Mother died, I know Mrs. Godwin is now in her final resting home. I will remember your families and extended families in my prayers.
You guys take care.
