    I remember the good times we had going to the University of Tennessee football games back in the 60s and 70s. Also, we had lots of fun bowling for CFW Construction Company. Junior and I kinda lost touch over the years, but I have all the previous early memories I will never forget.

    Sue, may God be with you during this difficult time. I will have you in my prayers.
