memories
Aunt Clara Wynne and I would make popcorn balls @ Halloween and pass out. Grandma Combs did this when I was a little girl @ Halloween. Aunt Clara Wynne was a wonderful cook & beautiful items she made with her hands will be cherished by many. Aunt Clara Wynne loved her time with the Grandchildren and especially her Great-Grandchildren.
