A 1957 Buick Dynaflo. A Wittnauer watch, 2 bicycles and a fancy hat. Tying tobacco while giggling, driving to Johns Hopkins, viewing a tiny white casket, watching aunt Myrtle and aunt Mary get ready for revival…..memories of my Aunt who rests now in the arms of the angels. All of grandpa Charlie and grandma Lou’s children are with them now (Ray, Mary, Velma & Mary) …..…may their reunion be joyous. Rest in heavenly peace🙏🏾💕
Growing up in Amelia County and visiting our cousins, Aunt Lou and Uncle Charlie in Nottaway County or them coming to visit us leaves happy childhood memories.
Myrtle had only one brother but when it came to lifting bales of hay she was right there with them working just as hard. Rest In Peace from Labor to Reward.
Our condolences, love and prayers goes out to you and our family. Cousin Rosetta and John Archie 🙏🏽❤️
