We want to offer our condolences to Aunt Doris
and the family. I always remember and still talk
about the cookouts, Thanksgiving dinners at the
old home stead. I remember the teasing. laughing,
playing ball, with all the cousins, and Uncle
Jack was always involved. To this day some of
the best times was with the “Cline’s” butchering
and cooking. That was a true family moment for
many years. I wish I could have passed that
experience on to my kids. Our thoughts and prayers
are with the family.
