I have many fond memories of Aunt Alma. One in particular, I asked her where I could get some peanuts. Just so happened that she knew a peanut farmer! So she coordinated for us to go out to his farm where he allowed us to pick as many as we wanted! It was like hitting the lottery! Joyce and Terry, know that you and your families are in our prayers. We love you! Cousin Thereyarn (Bo) Pressley
