Diane, I may not be in Walnut physically, but I am emotionally. Say hello to Mike. Talk in the near future.

We are sorry to hear of your loss. We always enjoyed living across the road from the DeWaeles. They were good neighbors. We enjoyed their sledding hills, pond for ice skating and doing some yard clean-up. The funny story we remember is when Mrs. DeWaele claimed one of our cats, of course not realizing it was ours. It was at her house more than ours and we never told her it was actually ours. And then there was the time we had to pay for 50 ducks because our dog and a stray did away with the ducks during the night. So many memories in the 11 years we lived as neighbors. May God be near you and comfort you during this time of grief.

Diane and family Even though I can't be there for you, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You have had a large load to carry in the past few years and have done a good job caring for you mom. I will see you when you get back to Roberts. Peace with you. Love Rita
