Always love my time spending it with cousin Nancy, when grandma and Pappy would bring us out to the river house in Lexington Park. We were all just little kids back then. I do remember that we were up there having vacation when Nancy gave birth to Jonathan and brought him home from the hospital. We all made fun of how big his feet were. but the best times of all was when uncle Junior would let Nancy and I go to town in the car and get groceries so that we could have a cookout with crabs that Marty and I had caught during the day. I know you may not know who this is, but I’m Sylvia McCarter Miller , uncle Sonny’s oldest daughter . Would love to hear from some of the family, I’m on FB and I do have messenger and my ph is 704 798 5243. I don’t really know any of Nancy‘s children, as we grew older, we grew apart. But please let Marty know that I think a lot about him and the times that we had when we were kids and got to visit with each other. My love and my condolence to all the family and friends.
