What a very sweet and loving woman

Dear Fred, Laura, Diane and Rita...my sincere condolences to the whole family on the loss of this wonderful, fun woman. Who will ever forget all the 4th of July festivities at the Allen Farmhouse. So many wonderful memories of playing jarts, sparklers, horseback riding and the beach at County Park. Our parents shared many good times and I am so happy we were all a part of it! I hope the memories keep you all with a smile on your face.
