Much love and prayers to all of the family. I have wonderful memories of all of us playing in the Geddes Hall neighborhood on Ogden Rd. My brother John and I are the only ones left in our immediate family and were recently looking at old school pictures and talking about the fun times we had with all of you.....Sincerely, Elaine
