Susan, please forgive me for using your name instead of your mom’s. I had just read Susan Full’s post. I use to know her and had her on my mind when I wrote about Sharon. I’m so sorry.

Kevin and Susan, I was so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. She was always such a sweet lady. She always made me feel better after I talked with her. She and your dad were such a nice couple. They never said anything bad about anyone. I will miss them both very much.

Sorry to hear about Sharon passing. I worked with Don (Cotton picker) at the Air Guard that was his nick name. And his jet missed him working on it. Sharon would come and see Don in the hanger from time to time she was always a nice lady.
