Raylene just reading the obituary of another pier individual and saw the object of your sister Marilyn. So sadden by the news. Given we were next door neighbors for many years it truly reflects on the passing of special individuals like your sister. The passing of your sister, Lorraine, hit me very hard as we were very close in out teen years. Just to walk about 15 feet through the hedge to be in your parents home was a blessing. The very best to you and the entire family.
Bonds for ever with that family next door
