My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you, Barbara, and the entire Flynn family. My parents were so blessed to have you as neighbors. "My Nicky", as my mother affectionately refered to Mr. Flynn, will always be remembered for his neighborly kindness and friendship. Now, my parents and he are once again "heavenly neighbors."
