I remember with great appreciation and love the Summersgill sisters. It was a privilege to know them from Napoleon Ave to Parkway, visiting them in their homes and seeing them at church. It is a great lost to the church to see their generation go. Love to each of the family. Gerry Richards (Previously, Mrs. Paul Richards)
