To John Sherburne(and Family):

My father, Kenneth Dimon, and you were neighbors on Walnut Tree Hill Road. I lost my father in March 2008 at the age of 90 and know how difficult it is to lose a loved one. I want to thank you for being such a good neighbor to my father; especially, for the times you helped snowblow his driveway. Your kindness meant alot and I remember you saying that you would appreciate someone doing the same for your own parents. Well, I hope your father had as good a neighbor to rely on. Please know that my husband and I share in your loss and send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Pam and Tony Bilotto (Ken Dimon's daughter and son-in-law)
