I met my friend mr. donnelly & his wife emalee when they would come to Walgreens and have pictures done, or were just in shopping for cards & other things. Always would stop & say hello. Made my day extra special to see them both. I will miss the small talks we had.But to Emalee & to Maureen & his family I will cherish those times always. May God be with you all at this difficult time. A special friend from Wallgreens Photo Lab ( Marilyn)
