I have so many fond memories of growing up with your family. There was no better place than Teresa Dr. It all seems like yesterday. I often yearn for 'the good ole days' but tradition has it that we all move on and get busy....I remember Betty correcting my english, making us P and J Sandwiches, driving me to/from school, relaxing on the back porch, tending her plants and always happy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
