Iva Elizabeth Penlon

Iva has been my neighbor for the last almost 20 years. I was a young 23 year old when I moved in. Through the years Iva and Bill both were always waving and saying hi neighbor. They were good neighbors and always kept an eye on things when I was at work. I kept an eye on their place when they wintered in Florida. In the last few years keeping an eye on them became more of an important job. I helped when I could and would call or visit Iva for some company or to help her with something. The end of summer watching the house empty was hard to say the least. I am however grateful for the memories 8ver the years. One funny one was when they came home from Florida and I had saved a bucket of snow. I dumped it in the driveway in front or their car. Iva threw a snow ball at Bill and I quickly realized I may have started trouble. The last few weeks without them next door have been strange. I will always remember the dinner I made for Iva and I on her last Saturday night in NY. The sound of all her windchimes will be missed next summer. Rest in Peace my good friend, play some bocce and watch some golf. Miss you.
