I remember so many things, as our families were friends for years! One thing that stands out is the time Bob had a “pet” alligator. It was a baby, and I don’t remember how it arrived at y’all’s house!
Bob and Darwin could always find mischief when together!
I pray that God will wrap your family in His loving arms, giving you strength, comfort, and His peace that passes all understanding!
