Thank You Mrs. Warden For Being Tolerant Of My Lack Of Typing Skills, And For Doing Your Best To Teach This Kid With Short, Fat Fingers How To Type On A Mechanical Typewriter.
Before That, You Were Lacy’S Mom At The Baptist Temple And A Part Of Our Bt Family. Heck, I Even Delivered Your Newspaper, As I Remember.
Libby, I Can Only Imagine How Tough Your Year Has Been. My Prayers Are With You And Your Family.
