Randy and Jackie,
You know you had a great mom.
I often think about the many times your mom and dad would take me places with them before you two were born. I was there little boy for a long time. I really grew fond of Peggy. I will really miss her and my brother Gene. They are a big part of my growing up as was
the Brown family.
Randy and Jackie you two are the only part of my brother Gene and sister-in-law Peggys family that I have left. I Love you two like I loved your mom and dad.
Rest assured your mom is sitting with your dad around Gods throne!
Love Uncle Lonnie
