In Loving Memory
Tom and Marge were our neighbors for 22 years. They were very good neighbors. We raised our 3 kids there and all of them knew Tom and Marge. I remember her limeade one hot day when we were working on the fence between our homes. Tom did some upholstery work for us.Good people. Our sincere condolences.
