So sorry to hear about Inez. She was such a cool lady. She is with Harley now.
What a wonderful lady and neighbor Inez was to us when we lived on the farm south of them. I have many memories that make me smile when I think of her and Harley. Heaven is blessed by her smiling face. Hugs to you all in the loss of this special lady.
