Yes, Wallace is my hubby...been married for 22 years with our 5 kiddos. Unfortunately, Wallace is extremely ill. He is a type 1 diabetic and has had severe complications over the years. Most recently his kidneys have started to fail and he needs a double transplant (kidney and pancreas). He's had a very rough time over the past couple of years. He remembers you also and says hello. Nice to hear from you.
Hello Shirley! Life is good and thanks for the compliment! We all look Fabulous!!!
I was just in Milwaukee last week for my family reunion. I am working on coming back for the 25th Reunion for class of '84 in October. Maybe I will see you then...The little princess in the picture with me is my niece. She turned 3 last month.
Be blessed!

Hey Shirley! So good to hear from you. I am doing well. Busy and blessed. I have been in touch with a lot of people from King on Facebook. You should join if you are not already a member. It has been somewhat of a virtual reunion. I am planning on seeing Alisha, Danette and Sheri at the end of the month here in Atlanta. I haven't seen them for at least 20 years and I saw Malik last month I think for the first time in 23 years. Stay in touch. I am glad you are doing well. How is your sister?
