Memories

 I have a lifetime of memories. Okey & Ma were my neighbors in Handley. They were always there for me whatever the need was. When I had my first daughter, Lisa, Okey and his friend from the Armory picked me up from Hillside Clinic, brought us home and carried me & Lisa up 50 steps to my house. When I enrolled in nursing school at Boomer, I had no way back an forth, he picked me up very early in the morning, dropped me off at school then brought me home each day. My nursing banquet was at Hawks Nest, he took me and my Mother and waited in car. I don't know how I would have ever made it without him.

He had a Heart of Gold. I Love & Miss him but know he is wrapped in the arms of Lord & now at Peace.
