Barbara, God Bless You for all the love and care you have given Lawrence. He must
be a dear litlle boy. My Sunday School Class and I sahll add him to our prayer list
tloo. Goad does answer our prayers.

I am descended from the Dixon and Celia Edmondson Harp family of GA. They died in
the 1850's in Thomaston, Upson Co., GA. Have you ever run across them?

Take care.
