Vonna – so sorry about your mother. She was always an inspiration to me in my childhood
days. Enjoyed being around your parents so much and am thankful to have known them.
I admired Ollie and her Turkey Hunting.

I remember spending many Sunday afternoon’s at Jack and Ollie’s. Even though they were my great aunt and uncle, they always made me feel like they were my grandparents. They were both such wonderful people and an example to me. Heaven has welcomed another precious soul.

Vonna, I know you will miss your Mom, but she is in a better place. I loved your Mom and Dad. They were so good to us. Dont k now how we would have made it without them, when we first moved here. I had many of a good visit with them.
