Johnnie Mae has been my friend since high school. She met Ed a few years later and they were sweethearts for a long time. They were such a wonderful couple... and they remembered me in so many ways. He's gone to his heavenly maker and I know that he is much better off. I'm sure Johnnie Mae and Donna and family will miss him a lot, but they will meet again someday.

One of the best employers that I had the pleasure of working with in my days on the Isle of Palms. This time of year Mr. Gamble would take the whole team out to the Chart House in downtown Charleston for a Christmas feast and celebration. Keeping you (Johnnie May and Donna) and yours in our thoughts and prayers this Holiday Season.
