childhood memories
I remember all those sewing lessons in 4H and a fashion show of our finished outfits. Until a year ago, I still had the first apron I had made. I remember your dad playing his steel guitar when we were in your house. The last time I saw you and Lillie was in the IGA restaurant in Hamburg. You took one of your kids to Phila. for college. Sorry
