Dear Armistead Family, I have such fond memories of Bernice & Bob. It all began when I arrived from Texas as a young woman and a new mom. Your parents opened their home & their heart to me.I realized this would be a wonderful family to be a part of & I quickly fell in love with all of you. It was even more of a delight to experience the love that you showed my three children. Some of the fondest memories are during our life at Yankee Lake; fishing,cook-outs,visiting & sailing in Uncle Bob's boat. Thank you for all of the loving memories, they will truly last a lifetime! Lots of Love, Sarah Gallo Sibert, Joey Gallo,Theresa Gallo Rickert and Sally Gallo Mangham.
