Dear Judy and Family: Although you may not remember me, I remember many good times when we were all kids,with birthday parties, and especially sitting in the kitchen with my Mom and Dad,(Lloyd and Rebecca Dyer) and Floyd and Mattie Kae. She was always so kind, and just an awesome lady! Jack or ‘Boo’ as we called him, was always a neat guy. I know you will miss him. May God bless you with peace and good memories.
