When I was 15 I babysat for Little Frank and Baby Ethel. Big Frank ( Feet's ) worked for Vallos and in his Brothers store in Freemansburg or some called it Miller Heights. They moved a few times and I remember her brother Bobby Doll was in the Marines. They moved to the Heights sometime in the 50's and I left for College and lost contact with them but; always thought of them. Wish I would have tried to find her. My doctor's office is in Miller Heights and when someone said they lived around there I ask about Korpics store and no-one remembered it. Well she is now with the love of her life and though her family and friends will miss her memories are made just for that reason. My love goes out to all who knew her and I will say a prayer for her safe passage to Heaven.

Love,
Pearl
