Billy and Nancy,

I was a young neighbor and we played together on Hall Road in Fox Hill before you moved to Gloucester. I don't remember the year or our ages, but I was a little older than Gina.

You Mom and Dad were outstanding citizens in our small community; I have often thought of all of you. I did not know your sister, Gina, had passed away until I saw you Mother's obituary online today.

From my childhood recollections I am sure you have many fond memories of your Mother.

May GOD bless you and your families.

When your Mom and Dad lived in Fox Hill they were very special friends of my Mom and Dad, Babe and Manola Clark
I remember her as a very kind and friendly person.
God bless you and your family at this most difficult time.
Love and Understanding
