Robin and Rhonda, We have so many wonderful memories of our parents playing cards and games until all hours in the night. They would laugh for hours. We remember the picnics and all the overnights we had at each other's homes. This is such a hard season for all of us and Matt and I will remember you all in our prayers. It was wonderful to catch up with you and Rhonda at Valley. Love, Matt and Terry Byrd Murphy.
