I loved Aunt MoDean and Uncle Richard so very much. Aunt Dean stepped in and became a momma to me and Uncle Richard stood by my Daddy's side when it mattered so very much. Uncle Richard was always an extremely loving and caring man. He taught his sons well. My cousins have all been wonderful men. Even though as boys they thought I was pest! And, they were right! But, I loved them anyway! I'm so sorry I can't be there today. But, I'm there in my memories. I love y'all.
