Monticello, AR Thursday, June 17, 2021 Connie, I know you will have a big void in your heart and life. As Sammy used to say, "We went back a long way." What he meant was that we were in Monticello, W. C. Whaley School, in the fifth grade together. I know my only grade that I went to Monticello. And of course, the kids always knew each. God Bless and keep your family as you adjust to this heartache.Marie Revere
