I have many fond memories of hanging out in the Myers' house on Stephenson street and Sondra was always full of hilarity and wit. She could make me laugh! Denny and Sondra were happenin' cats and always made us rabble-rousers feel welcome!

So much love and light to the whole family. Sending you so much love, Denny.
