I still think of your Mother and Dad and how wonderful they always treated me. Not only were they good to me, but your Dad spent many days and hours with Grandma Anderson and your Mother stayed in constant contact with Mother. At the last Sharpe reunion I attended, your mother grabbed me and said, “It’s so wonderful to have someone from my own family here”. I loved them both. Heaven is even more Heavenly with two such wonderful people as residents. I know your Mother was so happy to s ee your Dad and Claren not to mention her parents. Lavonne and Marilyn I love you both and know how proud your parents were of you. Love You. Karen Sue
