Jeanne and Family
Can't tell you how many times I've thought back to the nights spent at your house when I was young. I was amazed by the piano and for some reason, the fresh plums, that was always in your frig. Your mom was so kind to me and I will always hold those childhood memories dear to my heart. In fact, your Mom and Dad hold good memories for me. There was nothing as refreshing then to walk to Mr. Aubrey's store and grab a coke after baseketball pratice.
It saddens me to think those days have been long gone~~but thought about as "the good ole' days"~~God comfort and keep you all~~
Thanks for the memories and the love I always felt from your family.
My Love to you All~~
