ReplyDeleteI remember Bro Fountain and his sweet family when they lived in Lawton, Oklahoma. What a sweet, caring man he was and I loved Frances and the children. I have wonderful memories of when they were in our Ward. Fly high Bro. Fountain. Your work here is done but there is plenty to do on the other side!
