Irma and Lewis were my godparents, and because I came along before Connie and Kevin and lived just down the road, we have numerous pictures of me being spoiled by my loving godparents. Aunt Irma was very caring and God-fearing, and the times were few when she didn't have a smile on her face. Her cooking was wonderful!
