I have memories of Michael and Michelle coming to visit their aunt, in our neighborhood of Nixonville/Tilly Swamp, when we were children. Our family had a general store, just down the road. They'd visit their Aunt Armenta Jordan Todd, and walk down to the store. My deepest condolences to all of the Jordan and Letts family and friends.
