I think the world of you and your family, you're way up there with the best.

Those rosy cheeks and his great big smile and always a warm and hearty hello. I still think of your Dad now and then and it's always a warm feeling to see his smiling face and feel those big ol' hands, thanks for sharing them both with me. God Bless You All. You are all in my heart. Love You, Clint Pam Fillmore grmaluv@cableone.net Denny and I want you to know that we care. You are in our prayers. Love, Pam & Denny Fillmore
