Jones (butterfly14750@yahoo.com) My sincerest condolences for your loss. He was a very nice man. I have been trying to find Sally for years and was wondering if there was any way she could contact me. She was the best friend I ever had growing up with, but, she moved away when we were in middle school and I have missed her and thought of her ever since. Please let her know that I still miss her and would like to hear from her. Thank you Donna Jones Curtis Towne (oxman_1340@yahoo.com) Sorry to hear of your loss.
