Fred,

I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing and also that we were not able to come to Virginia. I remember the last time I saw your Mother was at Thanksgiving at your house. Even though she had a stroke, she always had a smile for everyone.

My prayers go out to you, Connie, the kids, and grandkids.

I just wanted to take the opprotunity to let everyone know what a wonderful person my Aunt Eve is, you never had to wonder what she was thinking because she would always let you know. That was a good thing, I always admired that about her. I remember when we would go to Virginia Beach and stop on the way to spend time with Aunt Eve and Uncle Wayne, they always made us feel so welcome. I remember being so proud when they took us to the Cafeteria, I was so impressed! Aunt Eve always took us shopping and Uncle Wayne and Aunt Eve took us on the fairy boat and to a plantation. There never will be anyone quite like our Uncle Wayne and Aunt Eve.I am glad they can be together again.
