We were neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Mooney from 1986 'til 1992 on Elmerston Road. THey were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. My father used to talk with Mr. Mooney more than us when he would visit from Pittsburgh.

One day when I came home from work, my front door was wide open. I, being too afraid to enter by myself, quickly ran next door for help. Mr. Mooney was all too willing to help me in my time of need. By the way, there was no one in the house.

You have our deepest sympathy.
