Linda and Glenda, I am sorry for the loss of your father. I know it hurts so much...I lost my dad , Kyle Farris in 1996 , but time heals broken hearts and I know your dad and my dad are with Jesus in a beautiful place where there is no pain and much rejoicement. I remember you both from when we were all just little girls going to Mullberry School. I lived 4 miles south and 1 mile east of Key Corner Road and you lived on Highway 1 accross from Mr. Buddy Whitehead. Girls I have thought about you often over the years.... as I was fasinated about knowing a set of twins. Please, take care .
