I was a neighbor of Ddaddy and Granny Givens in 1981. My name is Sarah and my son Steven was so loved by both. In fact Granny met us in our garage when Steven three days old came home from the hospital. Steven and I attended Summerville UMC with D-Daddy many Sundays. Granny and I enjoyed shopping together. Gina her granddaughter baby sat for Steven as a baby. She was and probably still is the sweetest girl. We loved having Gina at our home and Steven just loved her so much. Hi Gina if you read this. Steven lives in Thomaston GA and I live in Stanley NC. Steven is a father of two girls, McKenzie is 14 yrs old and her sister Charlotte is 4 yes old. I know Granny and D daddy would love to meet these girls! I still have great memories of you, your Grandparents and living in Summerville SC. Please stay happy and well. I will send up a prayer for Granny and D Dadfy. Hugs hugs to you! Sarah Cummings Williford
