GIVE ME MY FLOWERS WHILE I LIVE

That saying was told to me by my stepfather Richard Gerald Hood as he believed you should enjoy them while you are alive. He was one GREAT GUY for a stepfather.

Notes for RICHARD GERALD HOOD:

He was killed in Evans, Ga. at the home of my birth mother Francis June (Harris) (Powers) Hood. She had gotten a peace bond out on him because he drank and they were separated at the time. We were visiting her and Richard wanted to see our baby and she wouldn't let him in. While I was getting the baby he busted in the door and she grabbed a near by gun and shot him as he came through the door.
