Cherished Memories:

Andraous Mitchell - One of my favorite memories with my uncle Lee, was how he would come over and give me one of his favorite speeches.

Violet M. Smart - There are so many memories I have with my father, but the one that stands out the most, is when we would take my late dog, Pippy on a walk around the river. We would be gone for hours and we would talk about everything and anything. We would stop halfway and have a small picnic where he would tell me stories and give me speeches about growing up. Then we would continue our walk and just enjoy our time together.
