My fondest childhood memories were with Helen and my cousins in Claymont, Delaware. We had amazing family dinners at Aunt Mary's house and adventures near the stream by their house.

Beverly, Joann, Diane and Jimmy.
I have such fond memories of growing up across the street from all of you.
I remember I skipped school once and Mrs Mechell caught me. My mom told me she had to tell my dad. But I was more afraid of being yelled at by Mrs Mechell.♡
I will never forget seeing a man in the middle of the night in our front yard with a flash light. It was Mr Mechell catching night crawlers, to take on his early morning fishing trip. And Mrs Mechell cooking me breaded shark meat. At least that's what I was told it was.

Rest in peace Mr and Mrs Mechell.
