I know how difficult it has been to have Winfred sick and not able to enjoy his usual routine and riding his tractor etc. I will miss those phone calls where we talked so many times and the stories we shared.

I am so sorry for you loss. I had many good memories as a child playing on South Turkey Creek. Papaw Ralph and Grandmother Ora used to bring us out with them. It was always very peaceful there.
