Tributes
"Mary and Don were the BEST neighbors I've ever had. We really enjoyed them and helping them when we could by shoveling snow or whatever they needed. God Bless you all!"
"Alan & Pixy, So sorry to hear about your mother. I'll always remember how we used to play and trade Lionel trains. She was always so glad to have us there playing. And she always had great lunches when we were working with your dad. My prayers are with you and your families."
