GUEST BOOK

*Retta Faye, You will always be with us. My sister-n-love was the carbon copy of my mother in love...God gave me two fine ladies to welcome and mold me into the Copenhaver family. Retta and Ricky were best friends as sister and brother. She told you how the "cow eats the cabbage" and then would wink! One day soon sweet sister, we will meet you at the Pearly Gates! Until then...we will keep you dear to our hearts!
