Barbie and Ronnie loved your parents. They were that extended family, they spent so much time with Judy and Dave. They both were great people and a wonderful cymbal of Gods goodness to all. May she RIP and be with her Heavenly Father. Hugs to you and Ronnie. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Virginia, you all were an extended family to us. Remember your mom and dad and grandma and grandpa Whysop. It was always one of the Christmas stops. ❤️ Now mom and dad are gone to be with the Lord. What a beautiful promise for those of us left behind that we can all have a reunion there with all those who have passed before us. God bless you for the kind words 🙏

When Beverly came to visit us at the farm she would bring ice tea with her. I had always used lipton ice tea and did not like it. Lipton ice tea is terrible so when I was growing up I stopped drinking ice tea. I loved Beverly’s ice tea and would drink a lot of it. When I was on my own I call Beverly and asked her how she made her ice tea. I would make the ice tea by the gallon and loved it.
