A Lady of Great Class

Mrs. Houston was a proud lady with great class. She loved people and shared that love with everyone she met. Min and I shared many laughs and conversations .We learned we both grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and shared fond memories of those times, especially the country farm fresh foods as well as the wonderful seafood. Min was loving, kind, caring and giving. I am thankful to God that I had the opportunity to spend time with such a wonderful Lady of Great Class. In Loving Memory Sarah and Joseph Neal
