I was luck to work with Cheryl at Walgreens. She kept the A-Frame supplied with product. We used to talk about going to the Outer Banks because my wife and l went there almost every September and she and her husband owned a beach house there. I used to kid her that l kept and eye on it while l was there. To her family l´m so sorry for your loss.
