It seems like only yesterday that Connie and Sonny got married! I have a picture on the wall of a bunch of us all at a picnic table in front of Florence and Victor Senior's place on the river. Vic Jr. made the wrought iron railing on my grandparents' place, a couple of houses to the north. My condolences to what I expect is still one of the happiest families I have ever met!

Dear Hopp Family,
My deepest sympathies at the loss of your Mom. How I remember all of the wonderful times I spent with your family in Ringwood. I loved being over at your house and at your grandparents on the river in Johnsburg. Those are some of my happiest and most cherished memories. It's too bad we lost touch over the years.
Take care of each other during this difficult time. Love, Patty Brennan Buchert
