We send our sincere sympathy at this sad time. We remember your mom as a warm and kind lady and yes, the best house on Halloween. Our girls were terrified of that tent and scolded you boys for scaring the little children. We thank your parents and your lovely family for holding down the fort on Isbell Street.
Sincerely, (4004 Isbell St.)

Pughs,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your parents were such warm and wonderful people. And your house was absolutely terrifying at Halloween...and all for an apple! My thoughts are with all of you.

Bob, I've come very close to losing my Mom several times the last two years... You have our condolences, our sympathy, and our thoughts and prayers... If we were closer we'd be there in person instead of just in spirit. Hope to see you next time we get to MD. Take care of yourself, my friend, and God Bless...
