Clifton Mccoy was my grandfather. I spent many years playing with the fisher price toys she had, but I and me and little Janice played in the woods behind her house... I wish I was still in touch. I am sad I missed being around. I remember watching TV on the small TV she had in the kitchen. Thanksgiving on the farm with Lean and Grover. She had such a full life. I still think of her often and I miss all of my family.
