Grief is hard, but our special memories will help us cope. I have plenty of them with your mom and you 2 as kids. Praying for you Clay, Christina and sister, Carolyn and your families.
We were friends 44 years, great ones with lots of lunches and lots of laughs. Your parents were both such kind and loving people.
