Frank,
Henry (Gene or Blackie) was a year ahead of me. Was there not a younger sister named Kathy? Believe she lived in Arizona and Verna lived with her for a time. That was the last I knew. Kathy was not listed. Verna was a very smart and strong lady. She will be missed.
You guys be careful in the storm. I would love to have a Soft Shelled Crab from Galveston. If you get a chance have one for me.
Ole Granny
Alice, in addition to those listed there was Duane the oldest, I think he was killed in a carwreck years ago in Arizona, and Kathy died in the past year or two.

Had not heard about Kathy. I miss lots of news since mother passed. She always kept me informed. I remember when Duane died. He was a sweetheart
