I just discovered that Earlene had passed. She and I had communicated via Facebook after she had looked me up after some 60 years. We knew each other from Broad Creek Village in Norfolk when she and my brother "Sammy" dated and had a short marriage which was later annulled. I really enjoyed catching up on the past with her except that I was saddened to hear of her health issues. My condolences to the family. May Earlene rest in peace with the Lord.
