Remembering Ms Jan as she and I worked together for years on the mobile voter registration unit together. We had lots of fun together and she taught me how to make her famous seafood salad which is enjoyed by all this very day.
We shared good conversation and friendship.
My belated condolences as I did not know Mason passed away.
May you cherish sweet family memories to linger.

I am sorry you had to lose someone so important and special in your life. I'll be praying for you and the rest of your family, Steve, Doug, Kay and Lee Anne. I know how it feels to not only lose a Father but losing a Mother too is so tough. Don't ever forget that you have cousins in Indiana and you are always welcome to come North for a get away. Your Cousin, Sandy Enlow
