Surprised to see that Gail has moved her residence to Glory. Have been longtime friends but have not seen each other in the recent years , with all the family & other events in life, our paths haven’t crossed . We had many years of fun & joy with our kids in high school together…Allison was a cheerleader & Jon David was the quarterback at VBHS which brought both of us any good times. Always remember traveling to out of town game together. Love & prayers to Jim & the rest of the family. Not good bye, just see you soon my friend. Judy & Don Deeson
