I send my deepest condolences to the family and friends of this sweet lady. She was a neighbor to my mother Lois and sister Cathy and after moma moved, i moved in to that apartment, making her my neighbor. She was a very sweet woman, and she didn't let anything in the neighborhood slip by her, and just a joy to see everyday back then. I'm living in California now and have made this my home, if anyone in the neighborhood wonders where I went, but I intend to come home for a visit in the summer or early fall. But I sincerely hope that this ladies family and friends will make it through this loss,..and the other neighbors i had there, i send you all heartfelt condolences.
Sincerely, Matthew Woodall ✌️
