So many good memories come to mind from my childhood growing up on Prospect Street.  We were blessed by godly neighbors who watched over us and corrected us when necessary.  Teresa and Donna, your Mom and Dad were always kind and an encouragement to our family.  Please know that we are praying for you and your family during this time of grief. As we continue to lean upon our faith in our risen Savior. 

Aunt Ann, I'm going to miss Sunday dinners with you. Heaven just got a little sweeter. I'll see you in the morning.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
