We are so sorry for your loss. We were just talking about your family a couple of days ago. We have many good memories of you all while living on Nightingale Trail. A day after a very large snow storm, Paula and Pete arrived at our home and shoveled our driveway so we could drive to Enon and shop for groceries. May God and time heal your sorrow.
