Ensley Family,
I am not sure if you remember, but my family lived next door to you in Red Lion, PA - the Pickels. We recently came across this annoucement about Mr. Ensley. My brother Jeff and I use to play with Jennifer :) My husband and I live in North Carolina now, and my parents have recently moved to South Carolina from Rhode Island. We are very sorry for your loss - we have very fond memories of your family. Our prayers will be with you.

Betty, Randy, David and Jennifer,
We may have not seen each other in many years but I want y'all to know that you have always been thought of. I have shared the few stories we built together as children with my own kids. When I first laid eyes on my daughter, Alicia, I said she looks like Uncle Floyd. To this day I remember him as having time for me when I was a child. God be with you all.
