Our Mothers were twins, so we knew each other from little , delivering laundry together, in Sue's red wagon, all over Fulton, double dating in our teen age years, (yes, she married her date, Corky)--We shared stories of happenings in our lives, even into our Golden Years, about our children, grandchildren, greats, & whatever was happening in our life --until a month before The Angel's escorted her into Her Eternal Home, Heaven!
