I will always remember the ice cream social at Flatrock back in the day. As a kid I looked forward to the Cemetery Meeting because of the home cranked ice cream.
I always looked forward to our Thanksgiving Dinners for the Williams family.
Praying for comfort and peace.

Very sorry to hear of Uncle Don’s passing.
I have a lot of good memories of Uncle Don. Can’t forget the burnt hot dogs at the family unions.
You are in my thoughts and prays.
