Ron,
Sorry to read of your mom's passing. Even though I only met her the time we drove down to Searcy, she seemed really great.
I saw your dad's obituary several years ago when I was trying to find you but didn't see this link to leave condolences.
Let me know how you're doing.
John
Sending love and heartfelt sympathy to you all. Audrey was a wonderful aunt to Anna Lynn and me and we all had a lot of laughs together. I will never forget those fun times. xxx Glenna (and Stephen)
