What a wonderful neighbor!!

Well I believe that my story will begin with some of the same memories we all have of Grace..... Playing cards. Even though summer night card games with their friends,under the backyard awning, were sometimes interrupted by three small neighbor girls Grace and Tony were always patient and welcoming. We were welcomed to play cards inside as well. I remember their swimsuits hanging in the apple tree along with the bait bucket and fish stories. I still close my eyes and smell the dill they grew in the garden and taste the homemade pickles they made. We were allowed to eat as many peaches as we wanted. One hot summer day I heard wonderful guitar music coming from inside, I begged my mom to ask Grace to teach me. She did! Grace was patient and kind. I recall many wonderful memories of playing with Debbie and Christina. Grace always treated us like family. We have remained neighbors for over 40 years. Thank you for being a kind and loving neighbor.
