Jill And Al Riddell
I have had the luxury of having Mom and Dad in my life for 46 years. They have been grandparents to our children Kellie and Allaina. I met them when I was 17 when I started dating their son Darrell. We stopped dating but I never wanted to give them up as parents so I never did. When I did marry Mom and Dad remained in my life and it wasn’t long before my husband Al saw the love I saw in this couple and we remained close to them all through life. They would stay with us when they would visit Michigan and we would visit them once they moved to Oaklahoma. I will always remember giggling with mom. We would play skipbo and dominoes when we would visit , we felt this was the best hotel in town . I always appreciated Clarence allowing us to share his parents attention. I remember trips to Poteau, their families and up here in Michigan their church and camping friends. I was truly blessed to be part of this family. So glad that mom is now beside Dad in heaven. God bless to all of you that have taken care of them these last years.
