To Priscilla and the Clay family, when we were growing up on Wagstaff Road, "Little Larry" and "Little Willie" were in the tobacco fields pulling suckers and priming tobacco with us. I recall when Little Larry would chew tobacco and tried to be grown like the old men. We had some good times growing up. May the love of God, family and friends, bring comfort to you all at this time. Gloria Burton
