A Childhood Neighbor Passes Away

The Prices lived in Bethel on the Big Oak Road about a mile from me when I was growing up. Christa Price was a close friend and I was in her wedding many moons ago. Her mom died when she was about 12 or 13 years old. Christa is a RN and lives in Wilson. Thought some of you may remember the family. There were also 4 boys, 3 are now dentists.
