I am so sorry to hear about Birdie´s passing. I have wondered about her over the past few years and wish we had stayed in touch. We were neighbors for awhile at Yorktown and she was always so kind to me and my son! She would even hang his school picture on her fridge. We would just sit and talk about anything and everything going on! She was truly more than a neighbor to me. We lost contact after I moved away, but I thought about her from time to time. May you rest in Peace Birdie!
