Grace & Larry Jenkerson

My Mom was best friends with Grace and they all decided to get married around the same time, eloping to Kentucky and other places where you could get married without parental consent in your teens.

Grace and Larry had kids at about the same times as my parents, which made me feel like the Jenkerson kids were family to me.

Grace and Larry were lucky enough to stay in love through all the years and are the only couple of my childhood who are still happily married.
