Saddened to hear of the passing of our neighbor since we relocated to the North Country in 1996. She and Jim were always friendly and welcoming to us and our children, and she always enjoyed having a quick chat on her porch during good weather months. A true gem is now with the Lord. Prayers of comfort for the family
