Sherry,
I was your old next door neighborhood in Arden Lake. Remember your wonderful parents as great neighbors and friends. Your dad made an awesome 40th birthday invitation on-line for Bubba when I had no technical ability. And they watched our kids when I had to go to the emergency room one night. Will always hold a special place in my heart for both of them. Kathy
