Letters from Simon

<p>We never knew our grandparents on our mother's side. Simon (a.k.a. Jack) and Rebecca (a.k.a. Lessie Nora) both passed away while our mother was still a young girl. However after our mother's passing we discovered that she had been holding on to scores of love letters her father had written her mother during a long courtship. Clearly letters are missing and she only had a couple of letters Lessie had written to Simon but these letters have allowed us if only on a small scale to learn something of their character. It is a fascinating peek into the challenges hardships family dynamics and faith of one South Georgia couple living in poverty.</p><p>Simon and Rebecca's grandkids</p>
