I always loved Uncle Yank and Aunt Wendy. I am very sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.
I have wonderful memories of Mr. and Mrs. Shook. It has been many years since I have seen Mrs. Shook but they live on in my memory just as they were in the late 60’s. I pray that Sandy receives the peace that comes from knowing that her mother is in a far better place than we have here on this earth.
