Snows were such good neighbors to our Grandparents, Clyde and Rose Davidson. They shared gardening plans, neighborhood friendships and food. They were such fine people. I know you will miss your Grandmother. God bless you. Elizabeth (Weeks) Woods

I worked with Bob for years at FMC and he and Margaret kept me in fresh vegetables and would not take a dime for them. They were both wonderful people.
