Santa was such a wonderful neighbor! She was always inviting us to share her cookies and her wonderful Italian cooking. She and Jim were so kind to invite our family to their 50th wedding anniversary which was such a touching event. She so missed Jim since he passed away, that it makes my heart happy to know they are together again. Bless you, Santa.
