Some great memories over our 71 yrs. 54 babies. Firsts...taking a walk down to the creek as toddlers (probably got in trouble), roller skating, airplane ride, bowling, cherry rootbeers, you doing apartments, milking machines, your one wedding, living in COS with us with Ricky and Karrie. Glad we talked after your surgery. See you again RIP Perry!
