    I think I had one of the best childhoods a kid could have in Edneyville. I had a great Mom, Rev. Lucy Strider Norton, and I had several other Moms.... Mary Jane was one of those extra Moms. So much of my time was spent with Ronnie, we had a great time and always had a great meal waiting on us anytime. She always had a smile and was a very loving Mom... Mary Jane was one of those very special Moms and she will be missed until the day we all see each other again in Heaven.. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ronnie and Diane and all the rest of the family... God bless you all...
