You graced our home on more than one occasion. You always brought joy with your presence. You will be missed. I am sure you and mom are already raising cane! Until!!!

Billy, Rhonda, and Jay...
Haven't seen you all in almost 40 years but I just found out about your mother's passing. I am grateful to her for all of the snacks, dinners and just overall kindness she showed me as a kid with a single mom who wasn't home much. Billy and I were alway up to something fun (usually involving turtles or some other outside activity) and she would often check on us to make sure we were still alive! She was a very special lady and I know you and your families will miss her greatly until you see her again. Praying for you all and your families!
