May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived. I remember your Mother visiting her parent on Argyle Street. We lived across the street. Your Mom was so very kind and was fascinated by the little wooden toys Mr. Pipp occasionally made us kids, or the wonderful black and white cookies he made for us at the Home Daily. They are now a family favorite when my sisters visit the area.
