Reverend LeRoy, I will miss you and I will never forget all the fun and memories that you, Pat, Anne, and me (Fran) enjoyed starting with meeting in high school at Murray Vocational University, the Elks Club, your PURPLE DODGE CAR that the passenger door flew open every time you turned the corner!! LOL!!!! The shag lessons you and Anne taught at the Elks! And watching you and Anne shag was amazing........especially when you would throw her over your shoulders and bring her up through your legs! And you guys NEVER MISSED A STEP!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I remember the pool and tennis parties at your home!!! Anne cooked and cooked for all of us and the food was delicious, not to mention all the dinner parties you guys had for your bosses at the concrete plant, Anne really, really knows how to cook!!!! All those weekends at the end of Kiawah Beach, the Santee Lake trip with all the kids!! The day Jason MOONED ME when he was only four years old and the long talks your oldest son, Kyle and I had about God!!! Oh what fun it all was......the blessed memories are the best.....you are loved and will be missed.........forever.

But MOST IMPORTANTLY......there was VIETNAM.........THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, LeRoy! You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.......you are loved and the memories you have given me will ALWAYS BE WITH ME!

Anne, my long-time, sweet friend, I love you and I will always be there with you in spirit and as close as a telephone call ! The memories of all the years we have all had fun together have truly blessed me and comforted me for many years.

LeRoy AND Anne, thank you both for all your support, memories, and love over the years...we will all be together again one day!!!
LOVE, Your friend,
Frances Welch Ammons
