To Jack's family, my husband and I are so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. We reside just across the street at 38 Robert. We moved in 2 1/2 years ago with our children. Your Parents were the nicest neighbors anyone could ask for. My son would leave the paper in the side door so Jack wouldn't have to go out of his way to get it. I can still see your Mom's smiling face trying to pay him for it. They would get upset for him not accepting it. We always said that's what neighbors are for. We wish your Dad peace and may he be with Leora in internal life. May all your memories comfort you in this time.
Our deepest condolences.
Mr.& Mrs. Eunice & Francisco
