Dear Melinda, Ms. Sue and Family,
I am going to miss seeing Poogie!  I didn’t see him often but when I did we always talked about the fun we had playing pinochle and always vowed that we would gather everyone together to play again.  Unfortunately, as life will sometimes dictate , we did not make it happen. However, I will always remember  the fun we had growing  up and the good times we had on those pinochle nights.  Lots of laughing and selling wolf tickets.  Every time I have one of those memories, I will think about him.   I sincerely hope your personal memories of him will bring you smiles and comfort in the days ahead!
God Bless You,
Becky Corbin Powell
