It has been years (decades) since we all lived and played together daily on Southmont in Little Rock, but my memories make it feel like it was just yesterday! You and your family are one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that makes up my life, and I will always be grateful for those fun, special times we spent playing at one of our houses. Thank you so much for your kind expression of sympathy when I lost my father (Carl Copeland) this past April to Covid 19 and for your prayers and card during my recovery from the same virus. You are a true example that the childhood connections of friendship we make when young will always outlive the hands of time!! I truly know how much it hurts to have to let our parents go, but we will always have the great memories of the fabulous life they gave us! Just know that you and your sisters are in my thoughts and prayers!! Please feel free to contact me when you have the time so we can catch up!
