Mr. & Mrs. Sturges lived across the street from my parents' home, and I would see them every day as I was growing up. What a lovely, lovely lady. She always looked perfect, and she was always so nice. It's amazing to think that someone could always look so good and always be so nice without fail. And when she would talk about her sons or John, she would beam.
Mrs. Sturges was quite a lady.
