I still live across the street and keep an eye on Matt! He takes great care of the place and puts up wonderful decorations outdoors for holidays. Right now, I'm looking at the skeleton hanging from the flagpole and the jack-o-lanterns grinning from the living room window.

To Marion's family,

I've lived across the street from Ben and Marion since 1978. They were very caring and interesting neighbors. As a pilot myself, Marion and I shared flying stories. We both also spent time at the resort at Warner Springs and she showed me pictures of her there.
I'll miss her visits to share the fruit harvested from their trees and the Christmas carol bells on the front door in December.
Godspeed, Marion and say hello to Jane for me.
