Posted at 02:10h, 10 DecemberThe memories have been flowing since I heard about A.G.. All the vacations we spent in Oklahoma. They were great. Mom and Dad would help with bible school. They helped the kids make all kinds of things. A.G. would have Dad preach at different times. All of us kids would do the kid stuff that kids do. I can remember Wanda, A.G., Mom and Dad sitting at the table laughing and talking. Always had a great time with the Ingle family. Archer will truly be missed. The entire family has my deepest sympathy for your loss. Sorry I could not be with you.
