    Enjoyed many a visits with Bonnie and Earl and the kids. I got my first puppy from the Blacks. Always remember the boys went duck hunting but Bonnie wasn’t a fan of eating them, so they brought them to us. She was a lovely lady. I can still hear her laughter in my head. My sympathy to the family.
