J H, Steven, Keith, Kenneth and Susie, I am so sorry about your mom. She was a wonderful lady, very beautiful and gracious.
I spent many weekends going with your dad to visit Susie when she was in college at Conway. We’ll always remember those good times. Always loved your dad. He was so quiet and a great baseball player. I totally enjoyed seeing all four of you guys at the reunion. Hope to see you again this year along with Susie.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Loretta
