Sam, I ‘ll never forget our cereal discussion that year when your mom’s brother Danny and I visited. Thank you for that chat and others. It brings a smile to my face and my thought, glad I married your Uncle Danny to be a part of this family. Fond memories forever! Love Aunt Tommye
My heartfelt condolences. Keeping you all in my prayers.
