Can't believe it has been 5 years since you passed. I so much wished that my granddaughter, Carlyn, would have met you. I am telling her all about you and our wonderful history of being neighbors and living in Boulder Hill. I can only hope that you and Dan are now reunited along with my parents and Chuck and Mary. Until we meet again, love you, Sharon!
