I have many many memories of he and my aunt Helen, seemed like we were with them every weekend, going to gallipolis to eat somewhere. Grandma wrote often after grandpas death and always had so much to say about them both. Your grandma is right beside mine out there and this summer my son made sure to put a little flower on "aunt Helens place" also. It was bitter sweet. Well although you and I have never talked we are family and blood family at that and I think of you and pray for you. I love you! :)
