Skippy and Donna,
As a second mother to me, your Mom was so nice. Almost 60 years of knowing her has been an honor for me. I still remember us all playing together in the front yard on Flournoy Street while your Mom and Mine sat on the porch watching us. I will always remember those days and your parents with warm feelings. Now she is in Heaven with Mario.
Dale, Cindy and Family
