Vicky and Family, so sorry to hear about your father and mother passing away. I will always remember how warm and welcome they made me feel when I visited Johnathan in their home. I remember eating some beans and cornbread your mother cooked, which was delicious. Krystle, I also know how you loved your grandparents, and I will never forget your beautiful spirit as my student. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Love you all, Shelia Thompson
