From James, Jean, Devin, Nathan and Andrew Brown, your neighbors for many years on Fourteenth St. We remember how you welcomed us into our new home and if we were in our backyard you always made a point to stop at the fence to talk or just to say hello. You have seen our family grow from the birth of our first child, to not long after, the birth of our twin boys and you would tell me about your twin girls. You have watched them grow over the years, seen them trying to walk for the first time, playing in the sand box, swinging on the swings, how they would run to the fence to say hello to you when you would go out to hang your laundry. They are now 9 and 10, Oh how time flies! But our favorite memories are on Halloween. The boys would get dressed in their costumes and would have to make sure you were the first house that they stopped at. They would ring the doorbell and you would great them with a special goody bag, one for each of them. Little did you know that me and Jim snuck some too:) We will always keep these memories with us and will miss you. You are now with the Lord, may you rest in peace.
