Stacy, Chris and Rich. We feel so blessed to have had your Mom and Dad as neighbors and friends for so many years. We were so sad when they moved. We have so many great memories of them and loved watching you kids grow up. It’s hard to imagine that they’re both gone but thankful they are at peace now and together again. Love to you all.
