Aunt Shirley, Cindy and Ginny and family: Our larger family have lost alot of good members; but the memories we have will never fade. I was just going through some of Mom’s pictures and came across many, many pictures of picnics, card nights, and family gatherings at your home in Lorton, the trailer in Colonial Beach and in Daddy’s crabhouse. Please remember the fun times and know that our family love is a very strong bond. Love Sandy Kay and family.
Ginny, Mark, Bliss and family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time.
