I always remember Aunt Vaudean as the one of the sweetest ladies in the world. Quiet, loving, just plain sweet. They would usually come to Aunt Elsie's house when they came to Shreveport, and we would all sit around and just talk and have a great time. It would be Aunt Vaudeen, Uncle John D., Devra, Darryl, Jo Ann ( I believe) and us, David, Johnny, Janice, Kenneth, Jerry, Charles, Lera Ann, Aunt Elsie and Uncle William & Frances and Billy ( mom and dad). Those were the days. Simple times, great family, and lots of love. Aunt Vaudeen had me fooled for a long time though. I did not know she had a son named Darryl. I thought his name was Durl. I will remember that accent forever. God Bless the family, She is with Jesus now. Her new life has just begun. David and Renee Robinson
