Loved out family gatherings where we all went down to the river @ Cement, Oklahoma. Cooked out, ran trot lines, played in the sand and went barefoot all over town. Remember going down to the ocrner @ Cornbread's store and out to the farm with the extra fresh well water........yes, Uncle Jess and Aunt Faye and all of their wonderful children are planted deeply in my memories.......all with a huge amount of love.

One of the things I remember most about Uncle Jess is his laugh. I can still see Dad and him giving each other a hard time and hear Uncle Jess laughing. I have lots of great memories spending time with you all.
