What a wonderful neighbor and friend you were to my mom and dad and you were always there for us kids with pearls of wisdom growing up. You were also there for us once we were grown adults. You are the type of neighbor most people dream about. What wonderful times we had growing up in our little neighborhood. You will be missed by many. We will always have fond memories because of you.
love,
Cindy, Melissa and Shawn.
