I have been thinking about all the wonderful times I spent with Uncle Hall and Aunt Elsie as I grew up, getting to come visit with my grandparents – I always had the joy of spending the night with them, being taken care of by Aunt Elsie, going to ball games with Uncle Hall, talking and laughing, the vegtable garden, Uncle Hall’s cars, walking up on the mountain. I am blessed to have shared a life long of treasured memories.
Love, Vicki (Judy’s oldest)
