The Kunz were neighbors since we moved to Adelia in 62. They were a sweet couple . At one time Ed worked for my husband's construction Company and was - as looney and as much fun as the rest of the crew!
Eileen and I chatted over the fence until her daughter arrived. Lisa rather kept me abrest, but this is a nasty turn for me.
My eyes are so that I had to give up the newspaper over a year ago. Lisa and Jeff, I am sorry for your loss - she was a sweetie and down to earth woman. A real loss. Mary Midden
