Here Mary Lee is with her friend, "Hamp" (Howard Hampton). She's 16 here, so that would make the year 1927.

I love you Gramma..I used to spend summers with you.Travel with you. Go to church with you. Sing with you. Change the worms on your fishing rod when we would fish for blue-gill. Go swimming with you. Have long,long talks with you.
I have beautiful, beautiful memories of our time together. I will hold those in my heart always and pass on what you taught me about patience, love and family and music.
I love you. I love you. I love you....Always...............

Mama ran a 24 hour seven day a week restaurant along with her family. She would set up her sewing machine in one of the blue painted booths back by the jukebox. There she sewed clothes for me, all of my school clothes every year. One year for Christmas she made life size dancing dolls for me and my little brother, Richard. His was a red haired girl with braids and mine was a boy. There were elastic straps underneath the doll's feet where we could slip our feet and dance away. It was a wonderful Christmas.
