I also grew up on East Seventh Street and still live there today with my family. I have such great memories of you mom and dad...they were so good to all of the neighborhood kids. I can remember your dad being so patient with all of us as we took our time trying to decide how to spend our 10 cents and we never had enough money for what we ended up with ~ I don't know how he ever made any money!
I am so sorry for your loss.

To the Anastas Family

As a child I lived on East Seventh Street and Miller's Market was the store to go to. Your father was a good man, always patient with us kids as we piled into the store for candy. I have fond memories of your parents working in the store. Please accept my condolences and know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
