  1. So sorry for the loss of your Mother, when she was young her and brother Frankie and parents lived near me in Dry Run Covington, Va. Also your father was a very good friend with my husband. They was both in the 82nd airborne together and remained friends for years. I asked him to preach my husbands funeral 16 years age. Hope brother Frankie is doing ok.

    Once again sorry for your loss.
