I couldn't have asked for better neighbors, Pam and Jerry have always been kind. Durring my first week in the house I locked my keys in my car, Jerry came by on his cart with Ruby and drove around till he found something we could use to unlock my car and get my keys.
My heart goes out to Pam and her loss of a good man, husband and best friend.
