To my "watermelon eating buddy"…I am so glad I got to know you through Melba sitting with you. I have so many good memories of you in just the short time I knew you. I know you and I ate watermelon together and you would NOT let Melba cut into it until I was there to eat it with you..our pizza suppers..how you always wanted Melba and I to spend the night with you…sitting on the front porch listening to country music and you singing with the radio…the list just goes on and on. Now you are singing with the angels. Take care of us still here on earth…I will never forget you. Love you!! Sharon
