She was a wonderful person who I admired very much. I will never forget the wonderful time I had going to your house and spending the night with you. We fished and went hunting. Your mom fixed us such wonderful meals. Your parents are such good people. Thinking of you. Tim Whorton Return to Top Services | Monuments | About Us | Directions | Contact Us | Shared Links | Home
