Memories and Condolences

My sincere sympathies to the Garton family and friends. As children, Michael, Wayne, Steve, Bonnie, Patricia, Diane and I grewup together in the fan. I hung out with the boys who were more my age and we played together in the neighborhood. We lost touch, I believe when they moved. I have never forgotten them as we had such fun as children together. I have wondered how they were and prayed they have had wonderful lives. So I mourn the loss of Michael. I will continue to remember him fondly. I send my sincerest condolences to all his family and friends. Janet L. Ziolkowski (Floyd & Davis back in the days.)
