I am sorry to read of Don's death. I graduated from Plant High with him. I remember of going to his home with other boys in our class to listen to Glenn Miller music. His mother made us a sandwich, after eating it , she asked how we liked it.The sandwich was very good--until she told us that it was tongue.

My dear cousins, my heart & prayers go out to you & your precious families! I so remember your dad bringing your mom to our home in Tallahassee on their way to Tampa. We were very fond of them & so enjoyed seeing them. Your grandparents, Frances & Don, were like my mom & dad. I loved them dearly & my middle daughter, Frances, is named after your grandmother. I will write as soon as I have addresses. Love to all.
