8 Oct 2020So sorry to lose my sweet neighbor and friend. I’ve known her since moving in across the street 25 years ago. She always had a beautiful smile and enjoyed catching up with the goings on of the neighborhood. I happened to know she loved trout and often when my husband went fishing we were able to share with her. I will miss her.
