Ken, I don't know if you will see this message after all these years, but you have been on my mind so I decided to look you up and found your mom's obituary. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I hope that you even remember me after all this time, I was married to Jeff Floyd and we all worked at Albertsons. You use to hang at our house alot. And I think I remember you and your mom coming with us to Beckville for Thanksgiving or something. I remember her being so sweet and very funny. I have thought of both of you over the years. I wish I'd have found y'all sooner. Again I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope life finds u happy, healthy and doing great. Barbara Floyd
