We have many wonderful memories of Betty, Trevor and John. We were next door and shared a love of Connecticut. They stayed with us for two weeks during an ice storm and we loved every minute of their stay. I do hope we will see Alison and family when they return to Flat Rock. She loved her family so very much. Fondly Grace and Bill Vineyard
