Scott (and Family), Im so sorry to hear about your Moms passing. I have a lot of fond memories at the Green house on the top of the hill. I will never forget when we would spend the night, we would get off the bus and your Mom would have fresh baked cookies waiting for us, and then for breakfast she would make us blueberry pancakes from a recipe out of a childrens book called the "Old Black Witch." Those were the best blueberry pancakes I ever had. Your Mom was truly a wonderful person, I will think of her and your family evertime I drive by the (lime)green house on the hill.
God Bless

Condolences to the four children and other relatives and friends of Martha McKinney. I was at Mac and Martha's house once. I tell people that Martha was my half second cousin, but that does not make her my first cousin.

I am so sorry to hear that Martha has passed away. I knew Martha and Harold from the time I was 12 yrs. old. My grandmother bought some of their land and I kept my horse there. They were very kind people and will be missed.
