My thoughts and prayers are with you both, Ricky and Ashley. Love you both and loved your parents/grandparents very much. Aunt Jo and Uncle Perry were very kind and giving. As a young boy, and when my parents Mark (Jo's brother) and Peggy were still alive, they'd call before every Christmas to ask what I wanted and then they'd get it; I still remember fondly a hand-held transistor radio they got me one year. Loved the hog hats they always traveled with, and loved the sound of dice during Yahtzee at Aunt Ruth's and Uncle JD's whenever they were in.
