Cynthia and Graham were our neighbors in Medfield for over 30 years. We remember and always appreciated Gray clearing our gully. He did it when we were at work, but we did catch him a few times keeping everything in order. It was so sweet. We checked in on Cynthia every now and then after Gray passed, not as much as we should. She was always sweet and talkative. Joe and I will miss them.
