Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

This news brings tears to my eyes and I am very saddened. I lived next door to Ms Christine for many years before I moved to California. She and my mother Ms Montana Nichols were very good friends and they worked together at Slicks Laundry for many years. I would come to visit her when I would come back home to Gary. She was on my mind and I was planning to visit her when I come home this August. Oh so many memories. I will miss her dearly.
