From 1958 - 1980 my family & I resided next to Don & then Don & Irene, we were @ 1343 W. 36th St...I have many fond childhood memories of them. When Elaine lived with them, I helped take care of her @ times, & was acquainted with Cindi & her siblings. We now live in Florida, however keep abreast of the neighborhood news from others in the area. Our condolences to all the family, she was a special lady (& her picture looks just like I remember her all those years ago.
