My Mother would curl my hair before I would go to visit Aunt Melissa & Uncle Zeilin. Nomie was always working with my hair & I would always go home with Braids. I also remember we had to sit out in the kitchen when your Dad would come to visit your Mom. At that time I didn’t understand why I couldn’t visit with your Dad too.Sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Shirley Kleffman & Family
I was student manager of the Butler Band when Magnolia was the Majorette. She was a great pleasure to work with, never a down day. I am so sorry to hear of her death.
