Kim and Family - I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandfather. I couldn't make it to the wake but my thoughts and prayers are with you. I spoke with my sister and I too agree we had some really great times together in our younger days on the hill. One of my fondest memories is the beautiful tree your grandparents had at the corner of the property. And they kept the house and grounds up so nice. Please take care and keep in touch. My Best for you and your family. Christi (Rogers) McQuade
