My thoughts and prayers with you all as you celebrate a wonderful life lived in faith and shared so graciously with all.
I have many fond childhood memories of feeling welcome and special when I went to visit my neighbors. I never saw either your Mom or Dad without a smile and a true sense of peace.
I am blest to have had such wonderful neighbors and such good friends.
