Eugene & Vicky
I was sad to learn of the loss of your father, my neighbor and friend. He really taught me alot about taking care of houses and lawns! Nancy and I have relived good memories of your mom and dad this week from our days on Frances Street. Best wishes to you, and hope we'll have occasion to communicate outside of these sad times.

Family,
I do not know you all but did know your Dad and Mother very well. I was their nurse at Suburban Clinic and DR Parker for over 30 years. It was always a delight to see them come through the door and your mother would have a grin on her face and a joke to tell. I know you will miss them both , I loved them and felt like they were family.
