I doubt if you will remember me but we danced a few times at the community house in freeport and maybe even in angleton at the fair grounds. I only met your mother one time but she was nice to me. I'm sure you are sad your mom has passed but blessed that you had her for such a long time. I think I met you through Sue Taylor. I occasionally see her. You are blessed with wonderful family and fiends
