Cary and Jo Ann, I am so sorry for your loss of Norma. We were friends way back when Jo Ann and Linda were little. Harold would cook country ham Christmas morning and we would stop by and eat a ham biscuit on the way to Mulberry. We have such changes in our life we end up not seeing each other as the years past. I am so glad Cary is my grand daughter and good mother to my three little greath. Jo Ann I am glad you are back in Fayetteville and you and Cary can be close.
