From James, Jean, Devin, Nathan and Andrew Brown, your neighbors for many years on Fourteenth St. We remember how you welcomed us into our new home and if we were in our backyard you always made a point to stop at the fence to talk or just to say hello. You have seen our family grow from the birth of our first child, to not long after, the birth of our twin boys and you would tell me about your twin girls. You have watched them grow over the years, seen them trying to walk for the first...
