What I remember most about Papa and Mama

Papa was a devout Christian. He lived it every day. He enjoyed going to church and as long as he was able, he didn't miss. He liked to sing. I think he lived with a song in his heart. He went to school very little but he educated himself by reading. He had a good hand write and was a good writer. In his written work to the paper, he used very good English. A man with Papa's ability would go far in the field of writing today.

Mama was of the old school. She thought Papa was head of the house and family, and no one should question his decisions.

Her family was her life. She loved her children. She made Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter a special holiday for us. Not so much for the gifts she gave us, but for her love for each one, and for the happiness she felt; you could see it in her eyes.

Mama and Papa were good parents!
