Lynn, Laurie & family,

I don't know if you remember me, but I lived next door to your grandparents on Ballyhack Rd. It was always the highlight of the summer when you girls came to visit w/them. My brother saw your Dad's obit and passed on the info to the rest of us. Please accept our condolences, and know we are praying for your family. I would love to hear from you when you have time. Also, please pass on our sympathy to the rest of your family (the cousins, Aunt Peg, Aunt Cindy and others). Sincerely, Elaine (Spencer) Schneider
