Message: Hello Cousins,We all share so many family memories of holiday and birthday time together. Your father was especially handsome on Memorial Day marching to the cemetary in uniform. I remember Alta at the telephone office but I didn't realize Ever had worked for my dad. I do remember Ever liked cars. He paid Dale and Orland a dollar each for washing his car. That was huge at their age. He was generous throughout his life.Is there a designated memorial? Maybe the church or cemetary fund.
With love, Mary
