We just learned of Neil's passing. It comforts me to think that she and her dear friend Anne Baker, my mother, are together again and that they are free from the burdens of old age. Your mother was a beautiful and loving woman, and I know that you will miss her every day.

I remember the summers at Hanty Branch with Neil and Lucy vividly! It was so much fun. We roamed all over and built small forts on the hillsides, splashing about in the streams, swinging from grape vines and all being bathed together at the end of the day. Love to all, David

So sorry for Neil´s passing. She was my first real girlfriend! We must have been 11-12 at the time. I remember visiting her on weekend evenings at #3 Atlantic St. She was at Ashley Hall, I at the Charleston Day School. We had such a nice crowd of young girls and boys.
