We're remembering Mae and Bob and all the
Gorrells of our wonderful childhoods.
Maryland Ave. in the 50s and 60s - a good life. Our parents enjoyed each other so much - always the laughter, and
between your Mom and our Dad, oh my gosh,
lots of laughter and constant talk! Oh, and certainly, our Mom and your Dad could hold their own! And, of course, all the good food and your welcoming home! Life was beautiful! We're thinking of you as you say your goodbyes to your fabulous Mom!
