    I remember when....Me and my cousin Judy would stay over at Grandma's house on 3rd street. Aunt Thelma, as everyone knows she loves to hug and kiss on everyone. Well, in order to get hugs and kisses from us we would play hide and go seek. If she found us, she got lots of hugs and kisses. Needless to say, there was nowhere to hide that she couldn't find us. She would also cook us up some good ole homemade French fries. Boy were they good. I'm sure going to miss that Loving Lady.

Love You and Thanks for being in my memories for life!
