Our family was so sorry to read of your loss. Mrs. Psilas was our neighbor forever on 13th st in Davenport. Always polite but always stern too. She did always keep an eye out on us when we were kids. And if we were bad our mom and dad would hear of it . May she Rest In Peace. Respectfully, the Raley family, Tamera Raley.
