Chad and Clint, So sorry to hear of your moms passing. She was a really good neighbor to my mom (Neda Coghill Bushman) when she lived at the lake house. I know that they spent time sitting outside and drinking some wine on several occasions. When your dad was living he would be cooking stuff on the grill and bring some over to mom. Your parents were very good neighbors to all of us when we brought our kids to the lake. I remember how cute you boys were out skiing. I also worked a little bit with your mom through her real estate agency, because I am the Assessor in Carroll County and she would call about various properties. Again my sympathy and prayers go out to you and your entire family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My first husband used to work with Charlie, and Deb and I knew each other a long time ago, and I have very fond memories of her as we were young wives together. She came to Attica to visit my new baby and me while the guys were working long hours. That was before you boys were even born! She was a lovely, kind lady. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
