I'm so sorry for your lost at this difficult time. Although CJ has been called home, may all your memories shared with him bring you peace and a smile. I will always remember when CJ, Ken and Aunt Ruth came to live with us when Uncle Quinn was deployed to Viet Nam. 7 children and 2 adults in a 3 bedroom house with one bathroom, what was Aunt Ruth and my mother Marion thinking. We had a lot of laughs and I will always treasure the memories. God Bless you CJ. Your cousin, Alice Henderson White
