Kay!  What a sweetheart you always were.  I remember most your dry, giggle-triggering sense of humor and what comfort it was to be around you and to have you as a friend.  I'll never forget you and Kenny and the support you both gave me through some very difficult times when we all lived down the street from each other  in Barringer Woods .  We'd meet after dark and sit on the curb in the cul-de-sac and talk for hours.  Not sure we solved the problems of the world but those talks sure made many situations easier to handle.  Thank you so much for being my friend.  I love you very much.  Meet me in the cul-de-sac where you live now when my time comes.

Jeannine,

Tricia,
Thanks so much for you prayers. I am so sorry to have missed the reunion. Did you go? It had to have been a grand ol' time.
Let me know how you are doing. Where in SC do you live? I'm in Columbus, NC which is right on the NC/SC line going up I26 from Spartanburg. I would love to get together if you are anywhere close.
Love,
Val

Rhonda,
So sorry to hear of the health issues you are having. My prayers are with you as you fight this battle.
Love,
Val

Myra,
Just heard the about the health issues that you are battling. There's nothing quite like the pronouncement from a doctor that you have the big C. I know first hand that it is quite the gut kick. I also know first hand that it can be beat. My prayers are with you that you beat this thing.
Love,
Val

Jeannine,
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I had some balance and hearing testing done today and go to Duke on Sept. 17 for a Telsa MRI (I think that's what it's called) which is a very specialized MRI for my brain stem to see if we can determine what's causing the all these problems. I hate to miss this reunion as each one has been so special.
Give everyone my love and tell them I'm with ya'll in spirit. Have a wonderful time.
Love,
Val

Rest in peace and God bless your soul, Barrie. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
