Our prayers go out to Bill's family. It has been probably over 55 years since we were neighbors on 9th Ave. We lose track of friends as we get older and move. It gets the mind to go back in time for the memories though.
God Bless.

It's been over 30 years since we were neighbors but we have many memories of those years. Our daughter still has the blanket Sharon made for her. We were blessed to have had such good neighbors. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Take care.
