It is nice to have Fleta to let me know who had passed away. This man hauled
our milk from the farm to the refinery when
I was a little girl. Once Mom made me a
chocolate cake for my birthday in June. She
melted peppermint candy and added it
to the vanilla frosting. It was really good. I guess
I was 8 or 9 years old. I wanted to give the 'milk'
man a piece of my cake. I took him birthday cake
down at the old barn. He gave me a quarter for
my birthday. Later his wife befriended me and
made a difference in my life. I am going to his
graveside service tomorrow at Rule, AR. I
remember when I lived with his family, and he
came home from his long hauls in his yellow
Mayflower truck, he would grill steak and cook
pinto beans and a lot of other good food and we
celebrated his time at home. He helped me get my first car.
He was a good, quiet man.
I know his wife will be lonely without him!
I will surprise her tomorrow with my presence.

How lovely to have had those wonderful memories and to have been a part of each others lives.
It will be such a comfort to his wife to have you there.
