    My heart goes out to ya'll......Love and Prayers John 14....I have fond memories of the Frost Street years when Mr Richard, Miss Eva, and Anthony were our downstairs neighbors....I still have the scar on my right knee from where Dr Puryear dug rocks out of it when I fell in the driveway trying to keep "little" Anthony from getting hit by a car while his mama was in the house trying to bake a cake and I was "babysitting"....seems like only yesterday...May God grant sweet prace and strength in the coming days.
