My whole family is very saddened by the death of Spurge. We were neighbors for 34 years in beautiful Miami Springs. My Dad loved him like a brother -- they always worked on my Dad's 1958 Sear riding lawn mower. I guess I will have to tell my Dad about Spurge in person when I drive to Miami Springs. My Mom will want to know how Virginia is doing, and I am sure that she will ask Grace who keeps in touch with Virginia.
