One of my favorite memories of Robert. 2019: Robert Schrimsher dances with a pig at the southbound I-65 Alabama Welcome Center near Ardmore while the Athens Dulcimers play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ACaPAJV_f4

I’m so sorry we lost Diane. She was so good to our family. She cared for our Dad as well as 2 brothers when they were sick and was a good friend to them all. I’m thankful for having known her.
