Lorraine and Bob's family, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of both your parents so close to each other. I was unaware your dad had passed, too. I used to see them both walking every morning and miss their smiling, happy faces. Your mom and I took turns startling each other on the dark early mornings and would laugh and laugh at ourselves. I hope your faith that they are together with God will help give you strength. Your neighbor, Deb Svirtunas
