In 1981, I lived on Jackson, Sharlene Round Face moved in with. Then Howard Justin would come over and play cards. My son Jeremy was about 4 or 5. He would visit with them and made friends with them. Whenever I run into Justin, he would asked me how Jeremy was doing. Good times and memories. To Justin families and friends, so sorry for your loss 😢 May his sweet memories bring you comfort at this difficult time. Prayers for all his families and friends.
