Thank you, crl
Thank you so much.
Mrs Landon was always a big supporter of the neighborhood kids. I remember many times being invited to lunch after church for the best ho9me cooked noodles. We were never without a ride to a school event if needed. She even allowed us to write on the basement wall and to this day I think still our teenage treasures remain. Rest in peace Mrs. Landon.. Know that you were loved and respected!
