Oh the miles we traveled accross this country was amazing, they were the best years of my life. Linda, Angelia made many of the trips with us. We bought places in the keys and fished togeather, it was a wonderful time. Mexico was a hoot and we had many good memorys. I remember the hours at the hospital when Vivian had a very serious medical problem but she fought back, they both were truly wonderful people. Much love Carole
