The fact that I didn’t get sick on this trip is simply proof that vaccines work.
My brother-in-law, Roy, wrote the obituary for his mother and my mother-in-law, Anita. I’m putting it here because I know it won’t get lost. Anita M. Frye, 90, died in Asheville NC on April 13, 2021. She had been a resident of Midland for more than 60 years before leaving in 2015 to be cared […]
