We were childhood friends at church in the late 60´s and `70-`71. I haven´t seen her since i graduated in `71. She was so much fun and so sweet. I love the whole family. She would play me Elvis records when I visited her house just off West Main St near the Church of Christ where I first met her. May you be welcomed in the arms of the Lord, Susan.
