Julia King I loved you, with all my heart, I'm going to miss you, you was more of a friend to me, than anything else, you always teased me, about hitch hiking to your house, all the way from Galveston, on more than one occasion, during the summer months, I was still in high school, at the time, I remember bringing my kids to visit you, for Christmas Holidays, I always brought my tools with me, to work on your house, you always had a cheerful heart, when we talked on the phone, I'm going to miss just picking up the phone to call you, to hear your voice, seems like you you would drop everything else, going on around you, just so you can talk to me, it made me feel really special, in your life, I love you with all of my heart, I send my condolences to all of my beautiful Cousins, love y'all always. From Your Cousin Dickey Bloom.
