Jeannie, We were so very sorry to hear of your father's recent passing. George called to tell us the sad news. We know that he had been in declining health, but you were fortunate enough to have had him in your life for a few extra years since his stroke. May his memory be a blessing to those who knew and loved him. Take care of your mom, and give her and Caroline a hug from us. Love, Sid and Marcia Shealey

We were very fortunate to have a wonderful place for them to live. You were one of my favorite campers when we were at Camp High Hopes together back in the 70's. Hope to see you sometime soon.
