My '65 T-Bird from 6 Lapham Way

To all the Flaherty kids I grew up on Lapham Way with ; I Loved Lucia & Big John very much. My deepest sympathies for your loss. You were all the greatest neighbors anyone could ever ask for. With Lucy's passing it is truly the end of an era. We were all so lucky to have been brought up in such a warm,loving community. I will keep all of you in my prayers. All of the parents on Lapham Way looked out for all of the block kids, and were all such close friends with each other. I'll always cherish the memories of Parish picnics at Marin Town & Country Club, and the block picnics we shared.
