I met Aunt Anne thru Billy Jones Uncle Mike
In Victory Mills.
We became fast friends and continued into Mims Florida years after. We would play dominoes and get a bit to eat. She was a beautiful person. Always a good listener.
Had a great sense of humor. Miss her.
May she rest in peace.

I can reflect on my memories over the last
40 + years spending time with you and mike with the rest of all the clan that i call family.

Christmas eve was always a favorite of mine because the entire family would gather at your house in victory mills for some much needed time together.The adults would always play card game while us children would play catch up and watch christmas movies and everyone would catch up with everyone's lives away from the home in victory mills and would all eat the meal that you and my mom and aunt's would prepare for our christmas dinner this was a tradition that lasted for quite some time well into my teens and beyond. The very last time that i saw you was for uncle Lewis's wedding and only for a little while.
I love you so much and am extremely sorry that i could not not see you before your passing this still has not sunk in yet but i know you are in a much better place
I will always love you and will forever keep you in my heart
Your grandson
