Special memories of being neighbors for over 30 years. Danny and Cheryl, your folks were great neighbors, and it was fun watching you all grow up. Your dad and mom came to our 50 wedding anniversary and we were so pleased. If I don't get the the service on Thursday, it will be because of a doctor appointment. I let my kids know of your dad's passing. He was a wonderful person. I pray God will comfort all of you in your loss.
