Carol, John and Greg,

We were sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. So many fond memories of Sis that span back from 1969 when all of us would spend summers in Green Harbor. From my parents, myself and then my children none of us could have asked for a better neighbor. Please accept our sincere sympathies and condolences and may your memories of her remain forever in your hearts.
