We were so glad to receive Nina & Chris' call that day back in the early 1990's & finding family we never knew we had. We enjoyed so much our several visits to Little Rock with Nina & Chris. It was wonderful to hear about our grandparents, Charles & Caroline from those who knew them. They took us on a tour of the home where they had lived and to the cemetery in Sweet Home. We all went to the Court House, to search for Charles & Caroline's marriage record. Once, we even went to the races with Nina & Chris.
We're so sorry for your loss & ours too. Nina and Chris were such lovely ladies. You continue to be in our thoughts & prayers.
