The Treadway's

Condolences from Timmy and Cindy! Vonda, Our thoughts and prayers are of you and your family and extended family. I am remembering a quote from something in my past about the loss of a loved one. "As long as he is in our memories, he will always be with us." I think of Dad everyday, when I am going about the chores of the day! As I go about my work, especially as I get older, sometimes I think I will put something off until another day, or will start something and be too tired to finish it...I will hear DAD say, "If your not gonna do that right, then leave it alone!" It is like he is ALWAYS there, not physically, but nonetheless, ALWAYS there. I am remembering David, the first time Bobbie and I EVER had Kentucky Fried Chicken! We we on our way to Michigan, the first time either of us had ever been out of State, I think I was 12. You guys ask us, (after we had been on the road for several hours,) if we was hungry, Ahh, YEAH,,,LOL and David pulled into a KFC and got all kinds of goodies, (Bucket of Chicken, Crispy, bowl of Gravey, bowl of patatoes, bowl of green beans, and Biscuits with honey.) And I don't have to tell you how we dug in, as you may well remember... We pulled of the road, at a roadside table and had our first (Picnic) and just thought "that was the STUFF! David just sat there and grinned, like we were starving orphans that he had just rescued, and kept telling us to eat up, (like he really needed to)! And then there was the day, you guys took Bobbie and I to the lake, for an all day of fun, with Jeff and Susan, and we all got sunburned really bad because we wouldn't keep the sunblock on, cause we keep getting in the water. David said, "guess that will learn ya,,,,in so many words....and it did! And then there is the time, you guys took us to Canada, (on the 4th of July) and we watched the fireworks, that was just awesome. But most of all, and you most likely don't know this! Once when you guys were down home, David asked me to go to the store, at Dawson, with him one night, and you guys had just got a new car, (I think it was a Cadilac...anyway, when we came out of the store, David said ( YOU drive home, I am going to drink my soda.....WELL, who was I to argue with him, (I was only 13 or so....) so I got behind the wheel, and away we went, I felt like I had just got in the cockpit of a huge airplane! On the way back, on the long straight stretch, before the Old Stone Church, I dropped of the shoulder, barely being able to see the road, and David kinda just staightened up in the seat a bit and said, "Everything alright, Son" and I said, Yeah, I got this, just can't see the road...and then he showed me how to raise the seat...Ha...and then I was good to go... And he let me drive the rest of the way home...I don't remember if we ever told anyone about that. And for a 13 year old, I don't have to tell you how COOL that was. Anyway, I could go on and on, of the memories and with that, again, We LOVE you and you guys are prevalent in our hearts and minds, with all of our love. Timmy and Cindy
