Herndon, va Tuesday, August 25, 2009 Where do you begin a life time of memmories? When I was little Mike and I used to play together all the time. You were always there when I got home from school. You taught me how to paly solitare for pennies. Wow back then pennies were dollars. You were my psuedo mom because my mom always worked. I remember playing at your house. I was always spooked because of the cemetary next door. You were the best psuedo mom a family could ask for. I can tell you that Lynn, Randy, David, Debbie, Cindy and I would not be the people we are today if it was not for you!!! My mom, your sis will for ever know your love and will always remember the life time of love you gave to us. Love your God Daughter (Shelley)!
