Dear Loretta, Sarah, Robert & family, So sorry for the loss of your husband & father. He was so kind ( as were all of you ) to Nanny at # 63. We always considered ourselves lucky that we had you as neighbors for her. Mr. McGarrell was always helpful to me whenever I would ring the bell to ask something. May happy memories sustain you , Karen Kelly McEachern
