“Lived with aunt Kay for a year and a half-ish during middle school with Dad, Jack Stephens. It was a blessing she was able to house us during that rough patch in my dad’s life. My favorite memory is her teaching me to swim at the pool during summers! Never really learned to float good, but she helped!”
