Dear Juanita and family, so sorry for your loss. I would have come to the visitation but was in Ohio for the celebration of my mom’s home going. I have fond memories of those days in Pine Bluff but especially going with all of you to Mariana for 4th of July. Special regards to Charlie, Stanley, and Paula.
