Dear Esther, Bobby, Mark, Donna, Richard and loved ones, I am remembering all the wonderful visits with family over the years - especially when "we was kids." Frazier and his Key family from Nashville would drive to Chattanooga the "old way" (before interstates) - over Monteagle in the fog, past the "zoo", and up around Lookout Mountain from Nashville to Pashcall's house in Chattanooga. When we didn't go to C'ville, Paschall would load up Richard and various other kids and come to see us in N'ville. He would call us that morning and tell us "Chattanooga Keys are on their way." I never tired of seeing the "Chattanooga Keys." When in C'ville, we would go over to the "general store" onwed by Uncle BJ and we would drive Aunt Robbie crazy with all our shenanigans at the store. At Uncle Pashcall's we had an old door frame we set up in the backyard and used as the entrance to our "playhouse" - no walls or anything special, just an old door frame and our imaginations. I would dance with Bobby around the fence perimeter, bake mud pies with Donna, listen to Richard (since he was our fearless leader and still is), and try to keep up with Frank - he was the fastest of all of us. My brother Jim Key and I talk about "those good old days" and our Chattanooga cousins. Do you remember the day we rode the "Incline" and went to see the Confederama ?? I still have a plastic back scratcher from that gift store - must be close to 50 years old now. We even loaded up and went to visit Aunt Bessie in Ohio several times - all such great times !! I wish we lived closer to visit more often. Lots of Love - from Rosa June. THANK YOU TO ALL THE CHATTANOOGA KEYS FOR THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES. UNCLE PASCHALL IS WITH HIS BROTHERS IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW TELLING SOME GOOD STORIES. MY FATHER FRAZIER WAS CLOSE TO HIS BROTHER PASCHALL AND NOW THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN. GOD BLESS YOU AND COMFORT YOU IN YOUR LOSS.
