Just wanted to let you know that Mr Queensberry drove the bus I rode after school in the 1970's.
I will always remember that famous toothpick. He
was always so nice to us. He was my favorite bus driver. I will say a prayer for you. God Bless.

I will miss you PAPA! I will cherish all of my memories of you. Especially going to church on Sundays. In the mornings Nanny would fix me coffee with little bit of coffee and a lot of milk....and Papa would always say "WHY ARE YOU GIVING THAT CHILD COFFEE?" I give it to Nanny for being the strongest woman on earth. And to Roberta for being so strong and holding everything together. PAPA I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!
