😿My brother John David Tonkinson, Alton Hi(My best friend from AHS, Nancy Ann Savula, Class of 1967, passed away in March 2015. I miss John David and Nancy so much. Lexi and Joey are my only family. Class of 1967, passed away September 2. 2014. David and NANCY were my only family, besides a cousin. I have said, “Goodbye” to six sweet cats over the years. Jem was my longest lived at 20 years. After Jemmy, it took me more than a year before I adopted Lexi and Joey, who were two years old. They’re the only “adult” cats I’ve had. The previous six were babies. Lexi and Joey are my only family now.😻
💕I’m in the Edwardsville phone book. I’d enjoy getting together with my AHS ‘66 friends.
