The Holy Cross school bus would drop us off in Blue Ridge Farms at Peaks View Park. We would walk through the park to get home. We had many conversations and probably a few arguments on those walks. When she graduated high school she flew to Alameda, CA., where I was stationed at while in the US Navy, to visit with me. We saw Berkeley, San Francisco, and some of the beaches. I don’t believe she had a hateful bone in her body. I remember visiting her when in Lynchburg and when I’d leave her house she had no problem telling me that she loved me. I loved her too. She was my lil’ sister. She left us too early and I’ll miss her. I’ll have that drink for you!
