Note from C.C.:
Here is a sweet picture of JD and her 4 grandsons. They were together celebrating the 72nd birthday of Bob (JD's husband) two days ago. JD lives very close to her two daughters and the boys come over every Sunday for dinner. Dylan is Cameron's little brother, and Grady is Truman's little brother. Click here to see all the JD pictures I compiled.
