I have so many fond memories of Hugh and Patty. From the times in Bradlee to the times in Dale City. I remember being in high school and talking to them about things I couldn't talk to my parents about. I remember when they got their first puppy Snoopy. And how he used to howl all the time. I also remember when we had our pool and how you both always came across the street to join in on the fun. You will be greatly missed my friend!
