Iremember one morning in particular you faxed him a list of things yu needed. Guess who the first associate on the grocery side was he saw! Of course I didn't mind helping him at all. I have many fond memories of Mr. Todd. Let your good memories of him and the love of GOD sustain you in this time of sorrow. | |
