Haven & Sharon & Family,
Your Father and Mother was very dear to me. I have special memories of Uncle Haven from the time when I was a little girl, and he would come home from Jacksonville. I thought he was a movie star, he was so goodlooking. I have some pictures of him that I will share with you. You'll be in our prayers in the coming days. I thought the service was very special. Love, Gloria and Jesse
