    Tressie, I can't be there today but I will see you when I get to Heavin. Your brother, Ward When Ward and I got married we were too poor to go anywhere for a honeymoon so we went to AR so I could meet Tress and Clifford. They kindly let us stay with them too. Happy memory.

  2. Carrol J Griggs, St Louis says

    When Ward and I got married we were too poor to go anywhere for a honeymoon. We decided to go to AR so I could meet Tress and Clifford. They were kind enough to let us stay at their house too. When I would remind Tress of that we laughed and called her house "honeymoon haven" . We will see you in heaven and I'll remind you again. Ward and Carrol.
