Our deepest sympathy and condolences🙏🏻
Favorite memories......Here is one...Anytime Mom couldn't pick us up from school when Cole and I were in 3rd thru 7th grades at Bowie, we would get a slip from the office saying to get off of the bus at Aunt Billie's. I loved these notes! Aunt Billie would make us grilled cheese sandwiches if she was home and if not, it was okay for us kids to use the toaster oven! Brave woman.... Then we would watch Batman and Mickey Mouse Club until Mom picked us up. There was always so much going on there. All of my cousins were coming in and out, Uncle Thermon always picked on Cole ( not me, I would have cried ! Haha) and it was just such a good feeling to be there. I love you all muches!
