Bingo Players with her
I was a childhood friend with Susie. I have fond memories of Mrs. Rea making the best bean soup I ever had.
I will always remember seeing Aleana and Elwood Ray when they would come up to see Grandma Peggy in the RV back in the late 1980s.
I will miss them both very much. I really enjoyed the video tribute. Thank you.
Mrs. Rea was a neighbor.
