Your parents are greatly missed. They both watched out for me across the street, shared stories that were either funny or wise, and would do anything for me. Sweet, sweet friends and neighbors.
Now I have you Debbie, Dave and Dave across the street. Love that you are there.
Know I am here for you as well.
To happy memories.
Much love,
Kristi and Don Thomas
