Hi Terri,
I’m so sorry I didn’t see this until now. My apologies. Thank you for sending a message. It’s been way too long and so many years since we’ve seen each other. I hope life has been treating you well and that your family is doing well also. I fondly remember the many fun times we had as kids.
Ginny, we have such fond memories of your whole family when Jerry and Dave coached Little League together. Such fun times. We are remembering your family in our prayers.
