Abretha & family,
What wonderful memories I have of all of you—Ray leading the choir, your Mom, you and I singing. All of the great visits Scott & I had with them at home, and Verna keeping Scott in daycare. And also teaching Sunday School with her and Mrs Kitchens. Cherokee Heights was such a special family!

Such a special lady! I have such wonderful memories of her and your dad from Cherokee Heights. Mom and you mother were reunited for a short time at Morningside and I loved hearing them share stories. She is with her beloved Ray. What a glorious reunion.
