I grew up near the Schaeffer clan in good ol’ Highmount Pa. My favorite recollection was, on a warm summer evening when windows were wide open, and hearing the piano and Annabelles beautiful voice from a quarter mile away. Man, Could she sing! She’s at peace and singing with the Angels for sure. Thinking of all you guys.....Leon, Kirk, Kim, Tina & Doc.
